The new star of the WNBA, Caitlin Clark, masterfully led the Indiana Fever this Friday, which defeated the Los Angeles Sparks 73-78 in an alternating power play. The Fever’s first win of the season offered many different facets, from Clark’s remarkable 3-pointer and her decisive block in the fourth quarter, to Kelsey Mitchell’s precise free throws and layups, and Kristy Wallace’s defensive rebounds.
A combination that allows the Indiana franchise to dream, although its start in a full stadium was slow (22-15 and 23-19), but it was overwhelming in the finish (11-19 and 17-25). The Sparks wanted to, but they had no rebellion to neutralize the punishment led by the point guard born 22 years ago in Des Moines (Iowa) and who enters the season as the first pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft.
Second overall pick Dearica Hamby and Cameron Brink crashed again and again against the rocky Fever defense, who also showed coordination in handling the timeout. The Sparks, who had celebrated their first victory of the season on Tuesday, today allowed the Fever to recover after a tough setback on Wednesday against the Seattle Storm. Now the Fever will visit the two-time WNBA champions, Las Vegas Aces, on Saturday.
