The Connecticut Sun played like a veteran team, and the Indiana Fever's offence struggled against the WNBA's top defensive club.
In the Fever's first playoff game since 2016, Connecticut won 93-69 on Sunday.
The Sun are making their seventh straight postseason participation after reaching the WNBA Finals in 2019 and 2022.
Forward Alyssa Thomas has been with Connecticut throughout and had her fourth postseason triple-double on Sunday.
The Sun stopped Indiana guards Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell, who averaged 19.2 points as regulars.
Clark went 1-of-9 in the first half, including 0-of-7 against 6-foot-4
Bonner as the primary defender. The Fever trailed 46-38 at halftime and got worse.
