After a heated previous matchup that secured Indiana a Commissioner's Cup spot, the teams face off again tonight at 8 p.m. on ESPN.
The Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun played before a sold-out TD Garden on Tuesday, the second year in a row the WNBA has filled the arena to capacity for a regular season game. Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is hoping Boston hosts more games in the future.
Fans traveled across state lines to cheer on their respective teams, and expressed their desire for Boston to create its own WNBA team.
"I think the market here itself is just going to be better for a women’s basketball program," said Sun guard Saniya Rivers.
There is a full slate of WNBA games on Wednesday, July 16 and that includes the Indiana Fever visiting the New York Liberty at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. in one of the last games before the All-Star Break.
The Indiana Fever are heading into the All-Star break playing good basketball. With Caitlin Clark back in the mix, they’ve won two straight games by a combined 36 points and are gaining confidence at the perfect time. One player who's stepped up during the streak? Sophie Cunningham.
