Sonia Citron scored 30 points on 10-for-14 shooting and the visiting Washington Mystics pulled out a 104-102 overtime victory against the Indiana Fever on Friday night in Indianapolis after plenty of final-seconds drama in regulation.
Kiki Iriafen racked up 25 points and Shakira Austin notched 12 of her 19 points in the first half for the Mystics (2-1), while Cotie McMahon scored five of her 13 points in overtime during her WNBA debut.
Caitlin Clark hit seven 3-point shots on the way to 32 points for the Fever (1-2), who've lost both of their home games. Kelsey Mitchell pumped in 24 points and Monique Billings had 10 points.
Clark's fifth 3-pointer of the fourth quarter came from the left wing with 3.1 seconds left to tie the game at 89. Citron appeared to give the Mystics the victory with a shot from more than 50 feet away, but the basket was waved off on video review, sending the game to overtime.
Clark had 17 points in the fourth quarter. She was 2-for-15 from the field through three quarters and ended up 10-for-28.
Indiana's Lexie Hull made a 3 with 6.2 seconds left in overtime to cut the Mystics' lead to 103-102. Citron made one of two free throws before Mitchell missed a shot at the buzzer that would have sent the game to a second overtime.
Citron made 9 of 10 free-throw attempts.
The Fever lost center Aliyah Boston to a second-half lower leg injury after she had nine points in 21 minutes.
Indiana began the fourth quarter on a 12-2 run for a 70-69 lead with 6:51 left on Clark's third 3-pointer of the quarter.
Iriafen scored back-to-back baskets and Citron followed with four free throws to surge ahead 83-76 with 1:41 to go thanks to an 8-0 run.
But Mitchell's 3-pointer pulled the Fever within 87-84 with 28 seconds to play. A Washington turnover led to two Myisha Hines-Allen free throws with 5.8 seconds left.
Citron hit two more free throws to extend the lead to three before Clark's game-tying three.
The Fever led 26-13 in the first quarter, but they managed only 11 points for the rest of the half. Washington was up 41-37 at the break.
