WNBA playoffs: Sun fend off Caitlin Clark, Fever to reach semifinals and end her rookie season

Caitlin Clark’s rookie season is now over.

Alyssa Thomas and the Connecticut Sun closed out their opening-round playoff series against Clark and the Indiana Fever on Wednesday night. The Sun held on in a tight battle in the final minutes to grab a 87-81 win over the Fever at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, in Game 2 of their series.

That win, which followed a 24-point win in Game 1 on Sunday night, pushed the Sun into the semifinals for a sixth straight season. They’ll now take on either the Minnesota Lynx or the Phoenix Mercury in the next round.
