We all know Caitlin Clark and the Fever are getting their first style of the playoffs. They noticed on this recreation every thing issues from the primary possession to the final possession. Lacking photographs can take you out the sport early.

Caitlin Clark received welcomed to the playoffs right this moment. Imma give the rookie a go however 4/17 & 2/13 from 3 is loopy. Fever & Clark stans actually thought a crew that by no means been within the playoffs would be capable of beat the solar 🤦🏿‍♂️🤣

Nice gamers have tough video games at occasions, and Clark is not any exception. The WNBA playoffs are a special beast to the common season, a lesson Clark and her teammates undoubtedly realized on Sunday.

However the Fever additionally weren’t anticipated to be a playoff crew after ending simply 13-27 final season. The addition of Clark, the highest total decide within the WNBA draft, performed an enormous function within the crew’s instant turnaround and 20-20 season. That the Fever are even within the playoffs makes this season a convincing success.

In the event that they need to preserve their playoff hopes alive, nonetheless, they will have to rebound in a serious method on Wednesday night time. Sport 2 might be on ESPN at 7:30 p.m. ET.
