Prince scores 21 to lead Sky past injured Fever

INDIANAPOLIS — Epiphanny Prince scored 21 points to lead the Sky to a 71-61 victory over the injury-plagued Indiana Fever on Saturday night.

Elena Delle Donne had 13 points and Sylvia Fowles added 11 for the Sky (5-3). Prince shot 8 for 14 from the field.

Shavonte Zellous scored 17 points to lead the defending champion Fever (1-6), who were without perennial All-Star Tamika Catchings as they lost their sixth straight. Catchings, sidelined by a lower back injury, became the sixth player to miss a game for Indiana this season.

Chicago held Indiana without a field goal for nearly 6 minutes of the fourth quarter to pull away late as the Sky finished with a 22-10 edge in the final period.
