Fever comes up short against the Sun

After having a better night scoring against the New York Liberty, Caitlain Clark and crew wanted to build off that into the game against the Sun. In their first meeting, the Sun sent a message to Clark and let their bigs do what they do best and beat u teams in the post. In the second match-up. This time around, Clark was more aggressive with speeding up the game and getting productive shots to hit the bottom of the net. Clark had 8 points before she exited the game in the second quarter after she tweaked her ankle. She came back and finished the quarter.

The Fever had a three-point lead at the start of the second half, but there was a concern with Clark's ability to be at 100%. Connecticut went on a 15-6 run and had a double-digit lead, but the Fever did what was necessary and got themself back in the game with their outside shooting. Let's take it to late in the fourth quarter.

Clinging onto a one-point lead, Clark made a rare mistake that cost her team a possession. After getting her cookies stolen, Clark ended up getting a tech because she felt like she was fouled. With under a minute left and a tie game, the Fever needed a stop and score to put pressure on the Sun. The Sun hit some crucial free throws down the stretch to escape with a win 88-84.

A. Thomas had 24 points for the Sun

Clark had 17 for the Fever
