Sue Bird recently shared her thoughts on the Indiana Fever’s success, highlighting the team’s pace of play as a key factor ¹. Bird, a WNBA legend, noted that the Fever’s pace, led by Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, can overpower other teams. The Fever responded to Bird’s comments, simply saying “It’s about pace” ¹.
The Fever have won two straight games since the season resumed, defeating the Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm ¹. Clark and Mitchell are playing at an extremely high level, and their connection continues to improve every game. Clark is currently averaging 17.8 points and 8.3 assists per game, leading all rookies in both categories ¹.
The Fever’s success can be attributed to their improved chemistry, which has developed over the month-long hiatus ². The team held practice sessions and bonding activities, such as a homerun derby and scavenger hunt, to build relationships and trust among players ². This newfound chemistry has translated to their performance on the court, making them a formidable team in the WNBA.
