Similarly to her previous game in Washington against the Mystics, Clark began the night on a tear and scored 10 points in the first 10 minutes. The Sky succeeded at running Clark off the 3-point line but could not keep her off the charity stripe; she hit a season-high 13 free throws.

Bombs away. Clark, sporting a sleeve on her left leg, started off with a 29-foot 3-pointer before she assisted Aliyah Boston for a 3-ball of her own. After two more assists, Clark sank a 10-footer and hit a layup before the first quarter ended. Factor in the three free throws she made, and Clark ended the first quarter with 10 points -- just as she did against the Mystics on Monday. And just as in Washington, the Fever enjoyed a big lead after 10 minutes.

Entering the second quarter up 27-12, the Fever motored right along until hitting some turbulence late in the half. The Sky went on a 14-2 run to trim the lead to 46-40 after two. Clark added four more points in the second quarter, but she struggled defensively and was far less involved relative to the opening 10 minutes.

To begin the third quarter, Clark dished out two assists to Boston and converted a layup before she picked up a technical foul for protesting a no-call as Azura Stevens blocked her shot. During this time, the Fever lost what had been an 18-point lead, marking the third successive game in which Indiana had blown a double-digit advantage. The Sky's Sydney Taylor caught fire in the third too, scoring 16 points, and the Fever -- despite Clark's 20 points -- entered the fourth quarter facing a 79-73 deficit.

Clark began the fourth by hitting four free throws to cut the deficit to two points. She then lasered a pass to Boston for her eighth assist, and Boston's layup tied the game at 81. Clark hit her first field goal since the 8:30 mark of the third with a layup that took the score to 92-89 as Indiana wrested control away from Chicago. After she nailed two late free throws, a Kelsey Mitchell turnover gave the Sky an opportunity in the final seconds, and Skylar Diggins' 3-pointer with 0.9 seconds left sent the game to overtime.
