Valkyries Disrupt Caitlin Clark, Rally to Beat Indiana Fever 88-77

Intense Valkyries defense turned Caitlin Clark’s left step-back into a nonfactor, powering a comeback from a 13-point deficit

Overview

  • Caitlin Clark had one of her worst nights, finishing with 11 points on 3-of-14 shooting and missing all seven of her three-point attempts.
  • Natalie Nakase’s physical defensive game plan hounded Clark on-ball and neutralized her signature step-back jumper.
  • The Fever squandered a 13-point lead by committing 17 turnovers, which fueled Golden State’s late surge.
  • Kayla Thornton led the rally with 16 points and two key late three-pointers, while Tiffany Hayes added 14 and Chloe Bibby chipped in 12 off the bench.
  • Aliyah Boston posted 17 points and 12 rebounds but Indiana falls to 6-6 and now prepares to face the Las Vegas Aces.
