off get ready to have your mind blown by her most recent performance 30 points 30 13 boards and five assists are on the table that is exceptional not merely nice keep in mind that last year Boston averaged 14.5 points and 8.4 rebounds yes those figures are suddenly adorable she didn't merely grow she blossomed her efficiency though is the truly bizarre part the Bruins shot just 11 for 16 from the floor she's playing the game on easy difficulty that's not simply good shooting what about from the line of scrimmage just right a perfect score of eight just pretend you're a Defender attempting to Halt her what are you going to do when you can't foul her or allow her to shoot are you aware of what's even more terrifying there's more to Boston than just goals just like her teammates she's coming up with plays it's as if she made everyone around her better by installing a cheat code she goes from dropping 30s on you to setting up her teammates for easy baskets in the blink of an eye for that what is your strategy she has stunned everyone including her famous partner Caitlyn CL CLK Clark commented after the game she's all over the glass came up with clutch buckets tied it for us solid in overtime I mean I don't think we started off too great either but I felt once we kind of I don't know picked up our Pace a little bit I think we had a lot of turnovers in the first half I think right now we're kind of in the space where we just have to make sure that we're keeping our foot on the gas um I think we know that we're very capable of beating um any single team just because of the way we play the pace that we play at and just the weapons that we have to find a way started off the the fourth really good and then I think they even responded and made it seven again so um just proud of our group I thought tamy gave us really good minutes I thought she was she's all over the place defensively you know you're making an impression when Caitlyn Clark says nice things about you the truth is though that there is more than just one excellent game here as a player Boston has developed over this time these days she's doing more than just living up to expectations she's making them explode she started off as a promising rookie but now she's the one that the other teams coaches can't stop thinking about consider the expansion of Boston has changed the fever as a whole no longer are they only a promising young Squad they pose a danger quite large having Boston on the court improves the play of every team she seems to have an innate magnetic force that draws the rest of the squad to her you find the metamorphosis of Boston to be remarkable just wait until you witness the Revolutionary impact of Caitlyn Clark on the fever's play style as a matter of fact Clark is causing the WNBA to change their game in response to her because of that she is a genuine game changer for a moment let's discuss figures the dream lost that game because Clark scored 26 points had 12 assists and five rebounds the interesting thing is that she just tied the franchise record for double doubles in a rookie season which is held by the fever that is good in the long run not just now however Clark's influence extends far beyond the statistics it's as if she gave the entire Squad an extra boost more terrifying than ever before the fever are playing at a Breakneck Pace Clark has some serious Court Vision unrealized passing lanes are appearing to her everyone else seems to be playing checkers but she's playing chess a it gets it back to CL side steps Howard she will launch and knock down a three makes it look so third all time and points scored Boston lost the handle on her way up Finds Its way to Lexi Hall who knocks down another three she's four for four three for four here in the second Clark leaning into Canada just got it up off the glass and got it to go Point range on at least 23o attempts in five in a five game span know else is on that list the thing that's truly out there is it was Clark's full court pass it felt as if someone were watching her from behind her head the dream was certain they had possession of the ball but then Clark's buddy laid in an easy layup that's the type of performance that inspires the entire Squad and baffles the other side now we can discuss Clark's endurance in the game that went into OT she played every minute those 45 Clark though would be unaffected as if it were the first quarter she continued to drain threes and drop dimes that is the type of stamina that leads to triumphs but Clark's competitive fire is what truly makes her stand out she wasn't going to sit on her Victory lap after the game she was fixated on the minutia I think according to her I thought a lot of the turnovers were unforced that was not a backcourt violation exceptional players pay close attention to detail like that even more bizarre isn't it now that they've played together Clark and Boston are second in the league for scoring not only are these two excellent for rookies but they are also challenging the League's top players the rookie learning curve seems to have been omitted and the focus instead shifted to League domination the offense of the fever is being revolutionized by Clark's playmaking skills they are becoming quicker and wiser as a result of her a dynamic and unexpected style of play is created by her excellent Court Vision which she uses to set up teammates efficiently she seems to have an innate ability to anticipate her colleagues whereabouts long before they arrive however Clark isn't merly improving her teammates she is also increasing the game's overall excitement the atmosphere in the arena changes whenever she makes contact with the ball her next move has everyone on the edge of their seat will it be a pass without looking a three deep a journey to the basket when you're with Clark you can do anything every member of fever has caught Clark's infectious Charisma this group was barely considered a footnote 2 months ago right now they're currently on an 8-game winning streak that has the entire league on edge why did things suddenly turn around so dramatically it's as if the Fe Diva suddenly turned something on they are now the ones doing the hunting and it's not just about winning games they're absolutely crushing it they have eight victories in their last 10 games it's Championship level performance not merely good the odd thing is that it's now involving more than simply Clark and Boston one by one the players are stepping up as an example consider Kelsey Mitchell in August she averaged 25 points per game and she has continued that hot streak into September Lexi Hull should also not be overlooked her precision shooting is terrifying her opponents as if out of nowhere the fever transformed into a squad brimming with Marksman have you any idea what the true shift is Assurance inside the squad they no longer hope to win they anticipate winning we felt like we were right there and really played a crappy half so I'm proud of us Clark remarked following their comeback against the dream I felt like we kept plugging away we were tough and we delivered big when it counted with with that mentality one can win championships the fever's joy in being a part of the game has diminished they think they can beat anybody and play to dominate meanwhile did you hear they could be correct everyone on our Squad gets along famously it feels more like years than months that they've been performing together defensive players are left bewildered by the pinpoint accuracy of every player's passes because everyone knows exactly where their teammates will be the Intriguing part though begins at this point the Las Vegas Aces will be the fever's greatest challenge to date this isn't your average video game the fever have an opportunity to show the world that they mean business How about if they can hold their own against the aces at that point nobody will be able to deny that The Fever are serious competitors just consider how absurd that is the fever were written off as simply another rebuilding Squad a few months ago right now no one wants to play them in the playoffs their star power depth and most crucially the hunger that comes from being underestimated are all formidable these days you can feel the electric buzz whenever the fever on the court everyone is waiting breathlessly to see if Boston will once again dominate the paint or if Clark will perform some more magical tricks however it is now about more than just individual performances what matters is how this squad works together and discovers strategies to succeed The Thrill of the playoffs in basketball is due en larg part to that Talent alone is insufficient it comes down to which group can keep its cool and deliver when the stakes are high you can see that The Fever are capable of doing it their ability to recover from significant deficits and perform under pressure has been demonstrated time and time again consequently the burning question on everyone's mind is how serious is the fever are they able to maintain this level of play as they enter the playoffs is this really a temporary upturn that will end when the the heat is off
