How Caitlin Clark and The Indiana Fever TOOK DOWN a TOP Seed in the WNBA

so here's D Jana Carrington hounding Caitlyn Clark and right before she could even get the chance to defend her Caitlyn just floored her by knocking her off to her own teammate before drilling a wideopen three-pointer afterward now sometime later Carrington was able to score on Caitlyn and she immediately shushed her to get into her head but see right after she did that Caitlyn just absolutely destroyed her as Simone biles and Gabby Thomas watched closely what does Clark have upper sleeve this time oh she gets it to go maybe I mean if you guys remember Carrington was the same girl who mocked Caitlyn for apparently flopping and the same girl who took shots at Caitlyn on social media on multiple occasions see this is what you get if you try to bully Caitlyn Clark and literally betting against her is the worst decision you could ever make cuz counting her out would just make you look silly in the end I mean here's a classic example of what I'm talking about the fever every everybody at this F company likes to pretend they like Caitlyn Clark uh and let me be clear uh I'm talking about da Porto but it opened at 1 and A2 it's up to 3 and 1/2 I like the uh Connecticut Sun m 3 and A2 over the fever so after calling him out Dave pornoy just put out a $50,000 wager on Caitlyn Clark and the fever to win against the Sun and in the end poroy made the right decision as he walked away with $122,500 in his pocket Here We Go Again number three team in the league Indiana Fever Downs him and guess what I'm getting rich doing it I got the fever fever Rising Brandon Walker you dummy anyway to have an idea how Caitlyn and the fever upset the third seated Connecticut Sun let's break down the game and see what the fuss is all about right off the bat Caitlyn struts her stuff against Carrington as she puts her on skates with a pullback three I mean that trip was so nasty that Carrington's eyelash got knocked out in the process and see it wasn't the only thing that got knocked out cuz Caitlyn also knocked out the record for most three-pointers made by any rookie in WNBA history by hitting her 86th thre pointer of the season now after that she locates AB on the rooll who then swings it to Lexi Hull for the wideopen corner three hes a three moments later Caitlyn once again took Carrington to school with this floater right in the middle of the lane Thomas here with two fouls as Clark gets inside and lays it in and to wrap up the first quarter she threw a nice bounce pass to The Cutting Kelsey Mitchell which resulted in Two Shots the fever took the advantage in the opening frame by outscoring the sun 33 to 26 with Caitlyn dropping Five Points now in the second quarter the fever continues to roll to keep the Sun at Bay but it isn't until the 417 Mark that Caitlyn goes to work I mean despite fumbling the ball CC manages to turn garbage into gold as she finds Lexi Hull who then drilled the three-point shot right before the shot clock expired Thomas knocks it away hxy hole has to Fire and why not come on then in the very next possession she drops Carrington on the floor before splashing the three ball wide open knocks down a triple Clark runs caring the fever established a four-point margin with 3 minutes left in the quarter and to extend the lead further Caitlyn hit Lexi Hull with an assist as she spread out for another three in transition right back for Lexi Hull who buries a three here's Lexi hle three on two hle fees to CL right back for Lexi hle h barries a three and to end the quarter Caitlyn finds AB off a pick and roll who then converts the easy 10-footer that bucket was enough for the fever to carry a nine-point lead heading to halftime with Caitlyn dropping 10 points three assists two rebounds and one steal now swinging over to the third quarter Caitlyn opened things up with this touchdown pass to Kelsey Mitchell who leaked in transition Harris off the screen her shot too strong and now it's Clark launch ahead Mitchell behind the defense and then she cooked Carrington once again this time by knocking down a step back three with a hand on her Grill Mark step back hits a three Carrington eventually taunted her right after making a bucket on the other end but even before she could get back on D Caitlyn prematurely cut her Celebration by attacking inside and finishing the tough Layin oh she gets it to go maybe could have got a foul there too before splitting the double team and dropping the soft floater to close out the third CLK splits the double and the floater there's the floater that she worked on with the score still pretty tight after 30 minutes of play the game is expected to go down the wire with both teams not giving an inch anyway with this said Caitlyn had other plans in mind though as she lasers a full-court bullet pass to Lexi Hull right before the sun defense could set up up there and Banks it home to beat the shot clock bark watching ahead and hole with an answer on the then she feeds Aaliyah Boston who grinds her way in the paint to score the deuce inside deep position she won't miss from there now with the game deadlock at 80 the fever put the ball in the hands of Caitlyn and in a blink of an eye she just turned on her afterburners as she drove all the way to the cup to give her team a two-point lead by Mitchell Clark on the drive Clark lays it in with a chance to tie up the ball game the sun executed their play off the timeout however it was the fever's defense that prevailed in the end as they made the crucial stop to put this game to bed for good run the floor defend blow up ball screen action now had it knocked away good hands bleay it's fever ball when the final buzzer sounded the fever came away with the victory 84 to 80 Kelsey Mitchell LED all fever in scoring by dropping 23 points on eight of 14 shooting while also adding four rebounds and three assists oh look at that back beautiful a beautiful set up meanwhile Caitlyn showcased her entire bag once again as she stuffed the stat sheet with 19 points five rebounds five assists one steal and one block on 41% shooting from the field it was another Stellar performance coming from the shorefire Rookie of the Year and if we're going to look back at her numbers recently Caitlyn is actually putting up MVP numbers since the Olympic break as she averaged 25 points per game to go along with nine assists and five rebounds per outing which is why was a no-brainer for the WNBA to recently name her the Eastern Conference player of the week anyway with that huge win against the third seated Sun that marks their ninth win in their last 10 home games and it was also Indiana's first win against Connecticut since July 3rd 2021 apart from that The Fever have also won four out of the last five games since the Olympic break and are now just a half game back to the Phoenix Mercury for the sixth spot in the playoffs you know what time it is Bow Bow Bow defensive rebounding Wins Game big shout to the crowd they're awesome congratulations thank you
