Caitlin Clark delivered a stunning 37-point, 10-assist masterclass as the Indiana Fever demolished the Chicago Sky 113-90, officially eliminating Chicago from playoff contention. Clark drained eight three-pointers to set a new franchise record, while Kelsey Mitchell added 30 points. The Fever managed the victory without centre Aliyah Boston, who sat out with a right leg injury.
The game was also marred by a courtside confrontation between former NBA centre Enes Kanter Freedom and Chicago guard Natasha Cloud. The flashpoint came late in the third quarter when Cloud yelled at Kanter from the baseline. Security intervened and Kanter was ejected from Wintrust Arena. The incident follows Kanter's controversial declaration of eligibility for the WNBA draft alongside Royce White.
Angel Reese recorded a career-best 31 points and 14 rebounds as the Atlanta Dream beat the Phoenix Mercury 99-89 to clinch a playoff berth. Reese's 25th double-double of the season set a new Atlanta single-season record. The defeat officially ended Phoenix's postseason hopes.

The tournament also settled three US Solheim Cup automatic qualifying spots.
