The first game between the Indiana Fever and the mighty New York Liberty ended in a crushing of Caitlin Clark‘s team, who except for her 6 assists had a day to forget in what was her Fever home debut.
Clark had 9 points, 2-8 FG and 1-7 shooting from three, with 7 rebounds and 5 personal fouls.
Now she’ll get a chance to seek revenge when the Fever travel to New York to take on the Liberty this Saturday. However, Liberty is one of the best teams in the league, led by star players Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu, so the Fever’s chances are very slim.
