Caitlin Clark's magical rookie campaign concluded Wednesday as the Indiana Fever couldn't contain the Connecticut Sun.
Connecticut swept Clark and Co. with an 87-81 Game 2 result as five players scored double-digit points. The other two players in the rotation each added eight.
Clark led the Fever -- and all scorers -- with a game-high 25 points but found clean shots hard to come by once again. The AP Rookie of the Year shot 10 of 23 overall and 3 of 12 from distance to go with nine assists, six rebounds, one steal and a block.
Clark hit a three-pointer late in the fourth to give Indiana a slim lead, but the Sun caught fire from there and scorched the Fever down the stretch.

Only three Fever players eclipsed double-digit points, led by Clark's total. Kelsey Mitchell scored 17 but struggled shooting, going just 7 of 18 overall. Aliyah Boston dominated down low with 16 points, 19 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and a steal.
Connecticut will now await the winner of No. 2 Minnesota Lynx versus No. 7 Phoenix Mercury for its semifinals matchup, which is slated for later Wednesday night.
The No. 1 New York Liberty and No. 4 Las Vegas Aces -- the reigning champs -- form the other semifinal matchup.
After a best-of-three first round, the semifinals and final will move to a best-of-five format, where the higher seed hosts Games 1, 2 and 5. Connecticut will have home-court advantage should the Mercury pull off the upset.
