After the game, sports commentator Skip Bayless shared a key statistic with his 3.2 million followers on X, highlighting Indiana‘s strong performance at home.
He pointed out that the Fever have now won seven of their last eight games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, a stat that strengthens their playoff push as they prepare for their next challenge against Jewell Lloyd and the Seattle Storm on Sunday.
“Caitlin Clark finally got a break from playing nonstop basketball,” Bayless said.
“And looked refreshed and revitalized tonight with 29 points and 10 assists, ‘only’ five turnovers.”
Can the Fever make the playoffs?
Bayless expressed optimism about the Fever‘s chances of making the playoffs. Despite their 12-15 record, Indiana remains in a strong position to secure a postseason spot, especially with their recent success on home court.
“Fever are heating up, fun to watch,” Bayless noted. “Swept Phoenix 3-0. Have won 7 of 8 at home. I can’t help [it]; I’m getting the Fever.”
