Clark returned after missing the past five games with a left groin injury. The All-Star captain participated in practice Monday — the first time she’d done that since getting hurt on June 26.
Golden State led 41-32 at halftime and Kate Martin scored five consecutive points in the third for a 15-point lead.
After Indiana went on a 10-1 run to get within 55-50, Burton ended Golden State’s drought with a 3-pointer. Burton also capped Golden State’s 9-0 run on another 3-pointer with 26 seconds left in the third for a 64-50 lead.
Burton’s fifth 3-pointer, setting a career high, came with 6:32 remaining for a 70-53 lead and Thornton’s wide-open 3 about a minute later made it a 20-point lead.
Golden State (10-9) went 12 of 32 from 3-point range, compared to 6 of 27 for Indiana.
Kelsey Mitchell also struggled for Indiana (9-10), going 3 of 13 for 12 points. Makayla Timpson added 10 points off the bench.
The Valkyries beat the Fever 88-77 in the first regular-season meeting on June 19.
