The Fever fell behind early though and needed a heroic effort to get back to within single digits to catch the Mystics. Indiana outscored Washington, 29-13, in the fourth quarter but ended the game with a loss, 89-84.
"I wasn’t going to give up," she said, via the team’s website. "… It’s still really hard to win. You need everything to fall in your favor to really be able to complete the comeback… I wasn’t going to give up."

Clark had five of the team’s 23 turnovers but made clear it’s really hard to win basketball games when they’re turning the ball over that much.
With the loss, the Fever sit in eighth place in the WNBA standings. If the season ended on Wednesday, the team would be the last one into the playoffs. They have two more losses than the Chicago Sky, which sit at 9-12 on the year. The Phoenix Mercury have three more wins than both the Sky and the Fever and are sixth in the standings.
