That Fever locker room, despite the outside noise, has proven to be bonded. They'll need to lean on that as the final stretch of the regular season nears, along with the playoffs.The Fever have truly looked unstoppable as of late with their big three rolling. Even though the Storm are the literal worst team in the league as of now, they did give Indiana a scare in their last matchup. Clark posted a career-high 45 points in that game to power the Fever past the Storm 110-107.With the young talent Seattle has, they'll come out firing again. It's up to Indiana to show that they haven't slowed down at all following the break.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
