Late in the first quarter of the Indiana Fever’s 102-88 win over the New York Liberty on Saturday afternoon, Caitlin Clark took an outlet pass from Sydney Colson and walked into a 33-foot heave that caught nothing but net. She turned and screamed at the crowd, which quickly got on its feet.
The fans barely had a chance to sit down over the next 40 seconds, as Clark buried two more extremely deep 3s, one from 27 feet and another from 31 feet. The barrage, which helped turn around an early double-digit deficit for the Fever, was one of the best moments of Clark’s young professional career.
“I took one in transition, that’s where I like to get to early,” Clark said. “It’s always good to see the ball go through the hoop. Then I came down and shot another one, then I came down and shot another one and saw three in a row go in, and that gives you a lot of confidence.”
