UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Alyssa Thomas always raises her play in the postseason.
Thomas had her fourth career triple-double in the playoffs and 15th overall to spoil Caitlin Clark's postseason debut as the Connecticut Sun beat the Indiana Fever 93-69 on Sunday in Game 1 of their best-of-three series.
The Sun's star finished with 12 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds.
“We did what we were supposed to do. I’ve been waiting all season for the playoffs, this is what you’re playing for,” said Thomas, who had a triple-double in the regular season opener this year, also against Indiana. “This is just the beginning for us, we’re ready to go.”
