Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever made it look easy in their season opener. The Atlanta Dream provided a reality check on Tuesday.
In their second game of the season, the Fever fell 91-90 to another team that spent the offseason re-tooling around a No. 1 pick. In the Dream's case, it was Rhyne Howard, who combined with new additions Brittney Griner and Brionna Jones to outwork Indiana inside and outside the paint.
The game saw the Fever come back from down nine points with 4:09 remaining, but one final possession saw one shot from Natasha Howard blocked by Nia Coffey and the other one clank away.
