French journalist Eliott Caillot of Taille 6 joins me to look back at the FIBA Women’s World Cup after he covered the tournament in Berlin. We discuss the atmosphere surrounding the event, France’s dominant run to the championship game, Team USA winning gold for a fifth consecutive World Cup, and what stood out from Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston of the Indiana Fever. Caillot also brings a unique perspective after spending more than a year in Indianapolis covering the Fever and Pacers while attending Butler University, so we also talked about his experience in Indy and time at the school.

Team USA completed a huge comeback to beat France 97-79 in the FIBA Women’s World Cup championship game and claim its fifth consecutive gold medal. They fell behind by 14 in the first half after France used a 16-0 run, but they responded before halftime. Angel Reese forced a turnover that led to a Caitlin Clark 3-pointer at the buzzer, cutting the deficit to 45-43. From there, Team USA took over. The Americans opened the second half on an 11-2 run and outscored France 30-12 in the third quarter to seize control. Breanna Stewart led the way with 22 points and 10 rebounds, Jackie Young added 18 points, six rebounds and five assists, while Clark scored 12 points and Aliyah Boston added seven. In my postgame recap, I break down the comeback, the decisive third quarter and what this World Cup run meant for Clark, Boston and Team USA before the WNBA season resumes Thursday. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
Team USA is headed to the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup championship game after beating Spain 76-66 in Saturday’s semifinal. They overcame another slow start and led by just three at halftime. Neither team shot 40% from the field, and Team USA went only 3 of 18 from 3-point range, but its defense and free-throw shooting carried the day. The Americans made 27 of 35 free throws and held Spain in check enough late to win by double digits. Breanna Stewart led the way with 16 points and six rebounds in 29 minutes. Aliyah Boston added six points and seven rebounds and played important minutes late, while Caitlin Clark was limited to one point and one assist in 17 minutes after leading Team USA in minutes in each of its previous games. Team USA finished with more turnovers (15) than assists (13) and still look disconnected offensively outside of a few strong stretches. But a win is a win, and Team USA will face France in the championship game at 2 p.m. ET Sunday. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
Team USA overwhelmed Hungary 108-56 in the FIBA Women’s World Cup quarterfinals, delivering its most complete performance of the tournament. They shot 59% from the field, 52% from 3-point range and assisted on 31 of 40 made baskets while getting contributions from everyone. All 12 players scored and played at least 11 minutes. Napheesa Collier was the Player of the Game after finishing with 19 points and seven rebounds. Caitlin Clark added 10 points and nine assists, Aliyah Boston had eight points, four rebounds and three assists, and Clark and Angel Reese connected effectively throughout the game as the team has now been together for more than 10 days. Team USA now advances to the semifinals, where it will face Spain at 2 p.m. ET Saturday. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
Team USA delivered the bounce-back performance it needed, routing Czechia 105-64 to finish FIBA Women’s World Cup Group Play 3-0. The USA women looked far sharper from the start, assisting on 10 of their 11 first-quarter field goals. By halftime, they had already scored more points than they did in the entire win over Italy — while committing just two turnovers. Yes, the level of opponent wasn't equal to Italy -- but USA's actions, ball movement, and efficiency was much improved. Six players scored in double figures, everyone played at least 14 minutes and all 12 players scored. Breanna Stewart was named Player of the Game after finishing with 19 points, seven rebounds and six assists, while Caitlin Clark added nine points and a game-high seven assists. Team USA advances to Thursday’s quarterfinals, where it will face Hungary or Japan. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
Team USA survived a major scare from Italy, escaping with a 55-52 win to clinch a spot in the FIBA Women’s World Cup quarterfinals in Berlin. Very little went right for the Americans. They blew a double-digit first-half lead, were outscored 16-11 in the second quarter and shot just 28.6% from the field — including 1 of 12 from 3-point range. Team USA also committed 14 turnovers against just 16 made field goals and missed too many chances around the rim. Italy played with urgency, confidence and nothing to lose, pushing the U.S. all the way to the finish. Jackie Young was the only American in double figures with 10 points, while Aliyah Boston added six points and three rebounds and helped close out the win. In my postgame recap, I break down what went wrong, why Italy caused so many problems and what Team USA needs to fix before the quarterfinals. But up next, they face Czechia at 2:45 p.m. ET on Monday. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
Team USA opened FIBA Women’s World Cup group play with a dominant 94-61 win over China, getting contributions throughout its deep roster. Making her World Cup debut, Caitlin Clark came off the bench and was named Player of the Game after finishing with 14 points and 11 rebounds. All 12 U.S. players played at least 12 minutes and scored, while Aliyah Boston added seven points and two rebounds. In my postgame recap, I break down Clark’s debut, Team USA’s depth and what stood out from the opening win. They return to action Sunday against Italy.

The Fever closed out the first portion of their season in emphatic fashion, beating the Connecticut Sun 111-91 in the franchise’s final visit to Indianapolis before relocating to Houston next season. Indiana trailed by nine after the first quarter, then exploded for 39 points in the second to take control. Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell each scored 34 points — the fourth time they’ve both reached 30 in the same game and the second game in a row they’ve done it. Mitchell extended her WNBA-record streak to 24 consecutive games with at least 20 points, while Clark recorded her fifth game this season with 30+ points and 10+ assists. The Fever enter the World Cup break 26-14 and fourth in the WNBA standings. They return to action Sept. 18 at Toronto. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
The Indiana Fever never trailed in a 101-95 win over the Toronto Tempo, making their first trip north of the border a successful one. Kelsey Mitchell scored 16 of her game-high 29 points in the first quarter before heading back to the locker room in the fourth, apparently overheated inside a sweltering Scotiabank Arena. Several players complained about the temperature as a sellout crowd of 19,300 watched Toronto lose its 11th straight game. Caitlin Clark added 24 points and seven assists, along with seven turnovers, while Indiana built a 17-point lead and held off the Tempo for its fifth consecutive win. Up next: The road trip continues Thursday in Dallas. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
Indiana opened a grueling stretch of five games in eight days — all on the road — with a 95-91 overtime win in Atlanta. Caitlin Clark finished with 26 points and nine assists, while Makayla Timpson delivered a career-high 20 points and came up huge in overtime with three straight buckets. Allisha Gray led all scorers with a career-high 32 points for the Dream. Postgame reaction, takeaways and more from a hard-earned Fever road win. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
Caitlin Clark erupted for 17 points in the third quarter and finished with 29 points and 10 assists as the Indiana Fever rallied past the Dallas Wings, 98-87. Indiana scored just 35 points in the first half and entered the fourth down three, then exploded for a 35-21 final period to secure its third straight win and improve to 8-2 over the last month. Kelsey Mitchell added 23 points, extending her streak of 20-point games to 18, while Paige Bueckers matched Clark with 29 for Dallas. A critical win for the Fever before beginning a demanding stretch of five games in eight days Sunday in Atlanta. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
The Ringer’s Seerat Sohi joins the Fever Files Podcast for a big-picture look at the Indiana Fever from a national perspective. We discuss the Fever’s growth, what this team is capable of and what may still be missing, plus the play of their Big Three: Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, and Aliyah Boston . We also get into whether some of the fun surrounding this Fever season has been lost, the WNBA’s leadership and lack of transparency, and how the upcoming World Cup could impact the schedule — and potentially be a negative for the Fever. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
The night began with an impassioned message from coach Stephanie White about the online discourse surrounding the Fever and WNBA. Her team responded emphatically. The Fever scored 29 points in the first quarter, led by as many as 21 and shot 16-of-25 from 3-point range in a 106-92 win over the New York Liberty at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Kelsey Mitchell scored a game-high 28 points, Caitlin Clark added 22 points and 10 assists, and Sophie Cunningham knocked down 4-of-5 from deep as the Fever improved to 21-12. My thoughts on the game, White sharing what's on her heart, and the team responding to it. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
Caitlin Clark’s technical foul from Saturday’s win in Chicago was rescinded by the WNBA — an important ruling as she sits one technical away from an automatic suspension. I break down what happened, why I don’t believe TV networks needed to get involved, and what it means for Clark and the Indiana Fever over the final 12 games of the regular season. Plus: the Fever add veteran center Mercedes Russell following Damiris Dantas’ season-ending knee injury, the latest on the rotation, and why this upcoming stretch before the World Cup break is so important for Indiana’s playoff positioning. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
(I apologize for the audio. Clearly something was off.) The Indiana Fever overcame an early five-point deficit with a 24-6 run to close the first half, taking an 11-point lead into halftime before holding off multiple late Chicago runs for a 90-86 win at the United Center — their 20th victory of the season. Caitlin Clark finished with 26 points and 11 assists, while Kelsey Mitchell scored 27 to extend her streak to 16 consecutive games with at least 20 points. Aliyah Boston added 13 points and 11 rebounds, and Makayla Timpson started in place of Monique Billings. The game also featured plenty of controversy: DiJonai Carrington was assessed a Flagrant-2 and ejected in the first quarter after a hard transition foul on Sophie Cunningham , while Clark received a third-quarter technical for contact with an official — a call that should be rescinded by the league. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
The Indiana Fever let one slip away in brutal fashion, falling 86-84 in overtime to the Las Vegas Aces. The Fever endured a costly 26-2 Aces run while going nearly 10 minutes — essentially a full quarter — without a field goal, then missed three straight free throws in the final minute. Chelsea Gray made them pay late, drilling buzzer-beating 3-pointers to end both regulation and overtime. A stunning, disappointing loss for the Fever — and one they’ll be thinking about for a while. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
Kelsey Mitchell finished one point shy of her career high, scoring 37 in the Indiana Fever’s 108-100 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday afternoon. It was Mitchell’s fifth 30-point game of the season, while Caitlin Clark battled through an illness to add 19 points and 10 assists. The Fever erased a double-digit deficit and pulled within two with 2:37 remaining, but Minnesota closed the game on an 8-2 run. Rookie Olivia Miles scored 28 points, the balanced Lynx shot 57% from the field and extended their winning streak to 10 games. Indiana fell to 19-11 and completed its road trip with a 2-1 record. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
The Indiana Fever stayed red-hot late Friday night, beating the Portland Fire 112-98 for their season-best fifth consecutive win. Caitlin Clark recorded her first triple-double of the season — and fourth as a pro — with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, while Kelsey Mitchell added 26 points and extended her remarkable streak to 13 straight games with at least 20 points and three made 3-pointers. Six Fever players scored in double figures, including Sophie Cunningham with 13 points off the bench and rookie Makayla Timpson , who delivered 15 points in just 19 minutes. Indiana reached 100 points for the 13th time this season, improved to 19-10 and now heads to Minnesota for the conclusion of its road trip Sunday. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
The Indiana Fever returned from the All-Star break with a 105-95 road win over the Seattle Storm late Tuesday night, extending their winning streak to four games and completing a 3-0 sweep of the season series. Caitlin Clark scored 32 points and Kelsey Mitchell added 28 as the Fever’s star backcourt combined for 60. But the victory came with a significant concern: All-Star center Aliyah Boston went down with an apparent right knee injury late in the second quarter and did not return. Backup center Damiris Dantas (left knee) is not on the road trip either. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
Kelsey Mitchell led all scorers with 28 points in the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game as Team Spoon defeated Team Coop 129-122 at the United Center, while Jonquel Jones (22-13-8) was voted the game’s MVP. I get into Mitchell’s strong performance, Caitlin Clark getting to experience her first true All-Star Game and Aliyah Boston joining them (but only playing five minutes) as the Indiana Fever’s three representatives. Plus, thoughts on the game, Jones’ MVP performance, the atmosphere in Chicago and more from All-Star weekend. ----- Follow Scott on Twitter and Instagram , and read his work on fieldhousefiles.com .
