The Indiana Fever and superstar guard Caitlin Clark faced off against the Dallas Wings on Sunday. After a dominant win over the Atlanta Dream in their last outing, the Fever were looking to start a winning streak with the All-Star break coming up soon.
Clark and Indiana put together a strong performance, pulling off a dominant win.
During the game, there was a sequence that Clark put together that had fans in awe. Not only did she flash her defensive ability with a block, she backed that up with a beautiful full-court assist for a basket at the other end to Sophie Cunningham.

"Defense to offense, that was so beautiful to watch!" one fan commented.
Another fan chimed in, "I was hollering like a Banshee!!!! Awwww oooooh!"
"Such a perfect pass too. Those people are really going to have a hard time hating on this play," a third comment read.
A fourth fan wrote, "If you watch the game without hate in your heart... there's simply no comparison."
"That pass was Pat Mahomes like," another fan said.
Throughout the course of the 2025 WNBA season, Clark has struggled with injury issues. She has missed two different stints of time with two separate injuries.
Coming into Sunday's game against the Wings, Clark had played in 11 games. In those appearances, she had averaged 16.9 points, 8.6 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.4 steals per game and shot 37.6 percent from the floor and 28.9 percent from three-point range.

Obviously, those aren't the numbers Clark was hoping to produce in year two. The MVP hype that surrounded her before the season hasn't been lived up to, but the injury problems have really derailed her season.
Despite the slow start, Clark is starting to look like her old self. Over the last two games, the Fever have looked like the potential contender that they were expected to be.
Hopefully, this is just the start of an impressive run for both Clark and Indiana as a team.

Fever's Caitlin Clark reveals what's to blame for loss to Valkyries
The post Fever's Caitlin Clark reveals what's to blame for loss to Valkyries appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Fever got back their star guard Caitlin Clark in their game against the Golden State Valkyries, but they still were not able to get the win, losing 80-61. It was a rough loss for the Fever, as they shot 31% from the field and 22% from the 3-point line. On the other hand, the Valkyries were able to get what they wanted, and Kayla Thornton and Veronica Burton were the two highest scorers. Advertisement In Clark's return, she finished the game with 10 points, five rebounds, and six assists, while shooting 4-for-12 from the field. The Valkyries have now beaten the Fever twice this season, and after the game, Clark shared what she thinks went wrong in this loss. 'It starts on the defense, we struggled…we struggled to do what the coarse asked of us. We played with poor energy and effort those are things that can't happen,' Clark said. Clark also spoke about her return to the court. 'I felt pretty good…just trying to get my legs underneath me…and get my wind back, which will happen in the next few games,' Clark said. Advertisement The Fever have now lost two games in a row, but they've been a team that has been able to bounce back in moments like this. Caitlin Clark returns in loss against Valkyries Clark has missed the past five games for the Fever with a left groin injury, but she was able to finally return against the Valkyries. She didn't have the best game in her return, but head coach Stephanie White was impressed with what she saw. 'I thought there was times she looked really the first play of the game…maybe I'm naive, I dont worry about Caitlin Clark getting into the flow offensively…when we reintegrate her, how do we continue to keep our ball movement…I was little bit concerned defensively but I thought she looked good at times…I was pleased,' White said. Advertisement White also kept Aari McDonald in the lineup, deploying a two-guard system. 'I like the ability to have two primary (ball handlers) on the floor…being able to give the opponent different looks. Quite frankly for C (Caitlin) especially not having to have her play under duress 94 feet…we'll continue to work on that,' White said. Once Clark gets acclimated, the Fever should be back to their winning ways, but first, it sounds like they need to get back to how they used to play defensively.

Caitlin Clark's teammate drops harsh reality for Fever after ninth loss
The post Caitlin Clark's teammate drops harsh reality for Fever after ninth loss appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Indiana Fever saw their three-game losing streak get snapped by the Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday, 89-87, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Advertisement The defeat dropped the Fever to 9-9 and seventh in the team standings as the All-Star break approaches. They have won three of their last five assignments despite missing star guard Caitlin Clark due to a groin injury. Having Clark back in the lineup would surely help Indiana's cause and rack up more victories. But for now, the rest of the squad must fill in the void, as her return remains unclear. Fever coach Stephanie White already stressed the importance of putting more focus on their defense. Before their loss to the Sparks, they held both the Las Vegas Aces and the Minnesota Lynx to below 60 points. For backup guard Sydney Colson, it's imperative for them to stay even-keeled despite their middling record. Playing in the league for a decade now, she's fully aware that every campaign comes with challenges. Advertisement '(Consistency is) gradually going to happen over time, and we've seen it over the course of the season, there's been peaks and valleys. You try to lessen how many valleys there are and get to a point where we're having more peaks,' said Colson in a report from Indianapolis Star's Joshua Heron. Echoing White's message, the 35-year-old Colson said their defense should be their calling card. 'The last two games are more indicative of who we're becoming and the direction we're going in, but it's not gonna be perfect all the time,' added Colson, who won two championships with the Aces. She contributed six points, two rebounds, and five assists in 15 minutes off the bench versus the Sparks. Advertisement With Clark still sidelined indefinitely, Colson is expected to play an important role in steadying the ship for the Fever. They will face the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday.

Advertisement Sophie Cunningham, Fever's Commissioner's Cup win without Caitlin Clark Despite not having their biggest star, the Fever beat the Lynx to win the Commissioner's Cup. They were down by eight points at the end of the first quarter, but they took the lead by halftime. The Fever would hold on to beat the Lynx by 15 points. The final score was 74-59, and that was without Clark's presence. Clark missed the Commissioner's Cup championship game with a groin injury. Cunningham played 26 minutes off the bench, which was more than two of the team's starters. She made 66% of her shots and scored 13 points. She also had seven rebounds and one assist. Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images This season, Cunningham averages 5.6 points per game and 4.1 rebounds.
