Caitlin Clark’s most complete game as a rookie takes down Angel Reese and Sky

INDIANAPOLIS — Caitlin Clark caught the ball on the run, ducked around an Aliyah Boston screen as Boston simultaneously tossed her the ball, took one dribble and fired away. As the ball traveled toward the rim, the Indiana Fever rookie held her follow-through, and the crowd held its breath.

“They’re just waiting for it,” Clark said Sunday.

Waiting for her to ignite the flamethrower attached to her right arm.

After nailing a 30-footer to give Indiana a seven-point lead with just over three minutes left, Clark — whose prolific long-range shooting has made her one of the world’s most popular athletes — roared toward the sold-out crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It roared back in approval.

“They want to give that to you,” Clark said of the fans. “I thought we gave them a lot of those moments.”

The Fever’s 91-83 victory over the Chicago Sky marked Indiana’s second straight win against its Midwest rival and the first time this season the Fever have won back-to-back games. Clark was the biggest catalyst, producing the best all-around game of her budding WNBA career. The No. 1 pick poured in a game-high 23 points with three 3-pointers to go along with a game-high nine assists, eight rebounds and two blocks.
