Kelsey Mitchell scored 32 points, and the visiting Indiana Fever held on without the injured Caitlin Clark, taking a 22-point lead in the first quarter before finishing off a 94-86 victory over the Dallas Wings on Friday night.

Clark’s left groin injury spoiled what was supposed to be the first meeting of the past two No. 1 picks in the WNBA draft. The game was the first at the home of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks for the Wings, who took Paige Bueckers first overall this year.

The Wings, who are planning a move to downtown Dallas in the next couple of years, have played about 20 miles away on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington since moving to the area nine years ago.

Bueckers sparked a rally by beating the first-half buzzer with a long 3-pointer after a steal and finished with 27 points.

The Wings took a lead in the fourth quarter after trailing by 23 in the first half, but couldn’t overcome 26% shooting in the first 10 minutes. Arike Ogunbowale scored 15 for Dallas.

Aliyah Boston scored 21 points and Natasha Howard had 15 points and 13 rebounds and three steals for the Fever, who made all 11 of their shots from inside the 3-point arc in the first quarter and shot 59% for the game.
