Fans Were FIred Up About Caitlin Clark's Impressive Two-Way Play In 30-Point Performance
Things haven't been particularly easy for Caitlin Clark ever since she landed in the WNBA, but there's no denying that you can still see some serious flashes of greatness and one of them came on Tuesday night against someday-SI Swimsuit model Cameron Brink (you can take that one to the bank; it's going to happen) and the Los Angeles Sparks.
The two teams came into the game in Indianapolis with just one win a piece, and the Fever's win came on Friday against the Sparks.
As was the case the first time they met, Clark and Brink had a lot of eyes on them, and the former specifically really impressed with a strong first half that included an unbelievable showcase of her ability as a two-way player.
Clark blocked a shot down low from Los Angeles' Li Yueru then corralled the ball and the Fever transitioned offense.
A few seconds later, Clark had the ball again and drilled one of those signature three-pointers from distance that she's known for.
Fans were loving what they saw, though some may be a little bit biased.
I've got to agree with that last point. You'd think making sure Caitlin Clark can't take shots like that would be high up on the priority list for the Sparks.
Although, in the end — despite a somewhat back-and-forth game through the third quarter, the Sparks took the lead for good and got themselves some sweet, sweet revenge against Clark and the Fever.
Still, Clark had herself a solid night, and that three-pointer she hit in the clip we already talked about was just part of what wound up being a 30-point night for the first-overall pick, the first of her career.
Clark also blocked 3 shots but also had 7 turnovers.
Los Angeles earned its second win of the season by a final score of 88-82, raising its record to 2-4 while the Fever dropped to 1-7.
