印第安納熱潮於 2026 年 6 月 11 日在印第安那波利斯的一場刺激加班賽中，以 114-106 擊敗芝加哥天空。
Main Body
The game was full of dramatic shifts in momentum. Indiana took a strong 19-point lead during the second quarter; however, Chicago fought back to make the score 46-40 by halftime. This comeback continued into the third quarter, where Chicago briefly took the lead. The game ended in a tie at the end of regulation after a late mistake by Kelsey Mitchell allowed Skylar Diggins to score a tying three-pointer. Consequently, the game went into overtime, where Indiana regained control as Chicago's offense struggled, scoring only one out of eight shots.
比賽過程充滿戲劇性的轉折。印第安納在第二節曾大幅領先 19 分；然而，芝加哥奮力反擊，使半場比分為 46-40。這種反撲勢頭持續到第三節，芝加哥一度暫時領先。由於 Kelsey Mitchell 在末節出現失誤，讓 Skylar Diggins 命中一記追平比分的三分球，導致正規時間結束時雙方打平。因此，比賽進入加班時間，由於芝加哥的進攻陷入掙扎，8 次出手僅命中 1 球，印第安納隨即重新掌控局勢。
From a statistical perspective, the game was historic due to the incredible teamwork between Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark. Boston scored 34 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, while Clark recorded 32 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds. According to the WNBA, this is the first time in league history that two teammates have both recorded 30-point double-doubles in a single game. Furthermore, Clark has now achieved three career games with at least 30 points and 10 assists, which is more than any other WNBA player's combined total except for one other person.
從統計數據來看，由於 Aliyah Boston 與 Caitlin Clark 之間令人驚嘆的團隊合作，這場比賽具有歷史意義。Boston 砍下 34 分並搶下 12 個籃板，而 Clark 則紀錄了 32 分、10 次助攻與 7 個籃板。根據 WNBA 的紀錄，這是聯盟歷史上首次有兩名隊友在單場比賽中同時達成 30 分的雙十數據。此外，Clark 的職業生涯中目前已有三場比賽達到至少 30 分與 10 次助攻，這一紀錄除了一名球員外，高於任何其他 WNBA 球員的總和。
Team management believes that pairing two consecutive number-one draft picks—Boston in 2023 and Clark in 2024—is a strategic move to build a championship team. Head coach Stephanie White emphasized that having elite players at both the point guard and center positions provides a strong foundation for the team. As a result of this victory, Indiana's record has improved to 7-5, placing them second in the Eastern Conference behind the New York Liberty.
球隊管理層認為，將 2023 年與 2024 年連續兩屆的選秀狀元——Boston 與 Clark 組合在一起，是打造冠軍球隊的戰略舉措。總教練 Stephanie White 強調，在控球後衛與中鋒位置都擁有頂尖球員，為球隊奠定了強大的基礎。憑藉這次勝利，印第安納的戰績提升至 7 勝 5 負，在東區排名第二，僅次於紐約自由人。
Conclusion
The Indiana Fever now have a 7-5 season record and are scheduled to play against the Connecticut Sun this Saturday.
印第安納熱潮目前的賽季戰績為 7 勝 5 負，預計將在本週六對陣康乃狄格太陽。
