Caitlin Clark went from looking like a work in progress Friday to, well, the Caitlin Clark everyone was expecting. The result: her first career WNBA win.
The No. 1 overall draft pick shook off a slow start to make the dagger 3-pointer in a 78-73 win for the Indiana Fever over the Los Angeles Sparks, breaking a season-opening five-game losing streak. Clark had only five points and was 0-of-7 from deep entering the final minutes of the game, which clearly didn't affect her decision-making.
First, Clark pulled up from way deep to stretch her team's lead to six points with two-and-half minutes left.
