New Grad Journalist Takes on WNBA Game Recap
Caitlin Clark, the star player for the Indiana Fever, broke her streak of making 3-pointers in every game since January 13, 2022, when she went 0 for 5 from deep against the Atlanta Dream on Thursday night. This marked the end of a 140-game streak, which included playoffs, where she made at least one triple dating back to her college days at Iowa. Despite Clark’s off night, the Fever still managed to secure an 81-76 win, their second victory of the season. The No. 1 overall pick from 2024 finished the game with 11 points, four rebounds, and six assists, while forward Natasha Howard led the team with 26 points, seven rebounds, and two assists.
High tensions were present throughout the game, with Clark also getting into a heated exchange with Atlanta’s Rhyne Howard during the first quarter. The WNBA All-Star seemed to challenge Howard, saying, “I’m not scared of you,” as they were separated on the court. Clark now has the chance to start a new 3-point streak when the Fever take on the New York Liberty on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET. In her first three games of the season, the 23-year-old has accumulated 59 points, 19 rebounds, 27 assists, five steals, and four blocks. It remains to be seen if she can bounce back from her rare 0-for-5 performance from beyond the arc in the next game.
Stay tuned to see if Caitlin Clark can regain her 3-point shooting touch in the upcoming matchup against the New York Liberty. The young guard has been a standout player for the Indiana Fever, but her recent slump from deep has raised some eyebrows among fans and analysts alike. With the team securing their second win of the season despite Clark’s struggles, there is hope that she can bounce back and lead the Fever to more victories in the future. The WNBA season is just heating up, and as Clark looks to shake off her off night, all eyes will be on her performance in the next game.
