Jewell Loyd really dropped 34 points against the Fever with one eye almost closed
Two eyes. One eye. It didn't matter. Jewell Loyd was getting BUCKETS.
Seattle Storm star Jewell Loyd is an absolute DAWG, and she dropped all kinds of buckets on the Indiana Fever…with one eye almost closed.
Every time Jewell has played the Fever this season, she wrecks them. On May 22, she had 32 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and 2 steals. Eight days later, on May 30, she dropped 22 points and six assists. Thursday was more of the same.
During the first quarter, she took a hit to the face and still knocked down two free throws, barely able to see out of one eye. Loyd then briefly left the game (after scoring 15 points) and came back to finish the job. The savvy veteran ended the night with 34 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, one steal and one block.

After her terrific performance, Loyd was asked why she always gets going against the Fever. Right on cue, she gave the filthiest response to the crowd, who likely was also there to see Caitlin Clark.
She said, “Nah, you guys come for a show. I’ll give you one.” WHEW.
"You guys come for a show, I'll give you one."
Jewell Loyd certainly did that and more tonight! pic.twitter.com/01vdOMLFJj
