When the clock ran out Sunday in the Indiana Fever’s 110-109 win over Dallas, Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell had put up a combined 65 points, including 12 3-pointers, in their 65:51 minutes on the court. The finesse, the rhythm, the touch and the speed of the two guards in the backcourt made it seem almost as if they were scoring at will.

Clark and Mitchell, through the regular season which ends Thursday at Washington, have developed into a magical combination, a 1-2 punch for opponents that Fever coach Christie Sides calls her “dynamic duo” with “ice in their veins.”

Mitchell, a veteran of the league who will turn 30 in November, went 12-of-21 and scored 30 in the Fever’s final regular season home game Sunday, while Clark put up a career high 35 points, setting the WNBA rookie scoring record.

The outcome left Sides beaming about the way the two complement one another and the chemistry that has become explosive.

“Man, they’re special. I mean those two right there can hit such big shots,” Sides said Sunday. “There’s just ice in their veins and they’ve got players around them who are helping them get open, setting good screens and then moving the defense as well. I mean, Kelsey with her ability to get downhill, you have to guard her a certain way, then she can just pull up on a dime.

“They’re just the dynamic duo. I mean that’s who they are.”

Mitchell makes her life easier on the court, Clark said after the Dallas game, and makes the Fever’s opponents’ lives a whole lot more complicated.

“It’s hard to pick and choose when both of us are on it puts the defense in a really tough spot,” Clark said. “We just really read and understand each other a lot better from where we were at the beginning of the season.”
