it was not a good night for Caitlyn Clark in Indiana Fever this was a tough loss to witness take place in Indianapolis the Indiana hot wind streak is currently over Cheryl reev came into town still on business she simply out coached Christy sides bro the Minnesota links went on one hell of a run in the third quarter coach Christy sides choose to call a timeout slow the team down and to me I feel like that was the changing point in the game the Minnesota links outscored Indiana Fever by 17 points in that quarter alone they went on a Mayhem Terror in that third quarter some fans will argue that the referees was a little off which they was but Caitlyn Clark also had seven turnovers bro that did not help them either Caitlyn Clark did finish the game with 25 points eight assists eight rebounds and five three-pointers she had a remarkable game but the end of the day the team did come up short today we're diving into some intense postgame reactions from none other than Caitlyn Clark after a

back her thoughts after a big game but this time after facing off against the lyns her tone was different during the postgame press conference Clark didn't hesitate to take responsibility I think get a stop I mean it's going to be hard to win a game when they outscore you about 17 points in a quarter it's impressive that we got it back to one point um and honestly I thought we played really good in the fourth and that my turnover in transition is what I felt like really kind of ended the momentum for us this self-criticism shows Clark's maturity and why she's a leader on the court even in
