Caitlin Clark had 16 points on Friday, as the Fever beat the Dream in front a record-breaking 17,575 fans in Atlanta.
The Indiana Fever defeated the Atlanta Dream, 91-79, on Friday in front of a record-breaking 17,575 fans at State Farm Arena. Atlanta set a franchise record for single-game home attendance, surpassing the 11,609 fans who saw the team's inaugural game against the Detroit Shock in 2008 at Philips Arena. The game was played at the home of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks due to high ticket demand to see Clark, the No. 1 draft pick.
It came during an 11-3 run that ended in a 79-62 lead. The Fever cruised in the fourth. Friday's victory marked the Fever's fourth consecutive game win, something the franchise had not achieved since 2015. What's more, the last time the Fever accomplished this feat, they went to the 2015 WNBA Finals. Atlanta's next home game against Indiana will also be played at State Farm Arena on August 26. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
