After its four-game winning streak was snapped on Thursday night, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever (9-6) travel to State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, for the second half of a home-and-home series against the Atlanta Dream (10-4).
The Fever dropped a 108-101 final from Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Thursday despite Clark scoring 26 points in the debut of her Nike “Caitlin1” shoes. In the loss, the former Hawkeye legend managed to knock down 8-of-17 from the field and 2-of-5 from beyond the arc, but the 17 total Fever turnovers and inability to manufacture offense late ultimately cost Indiana the game.
In addition to Clark, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston scored 26 and 23 points for the Fever in the loss, respectively. However, Indiana’s got just 26 points from the rest of its roster, while every player in Atlanta’s starting five finished in double figures, including Angel Reese’s team-leading 21 points.
