So amazing to see this👍
Clark scored 13 points, although she shot just 4-12 from the field and 1-7 from behind the arc. While she dished out 11 assists, she also turned the ball over six times and committed five fouls. Indiana was outscored by 19 points in her 37 minutes on the floor.
It was still a successful day for Clark overall, as she earned an All-Star spot earlier in the evening.

never a doubt 💯

However, fans were still dismayed by her inefficient shooting night against the Aces.

I’m sorry, but Caitlin Clark sold out another road arena, in Vegas – and once again disappeared in another 4th quarter. No offensive urgency or energy. Won’t shoot. So many careless turnovers. Something’s not right here.

Kelsey Plum plays like Caitlin Clark should. She is not shy about shooting that rock at all!

Caitlin Clark is shooting 12/35 from the floor the last three games. 6/24 from three. She hasn’t had the juice on offense and it feels like she’s settling for long threes instead of pushing to the rim where she’s had more success. #Fever

Caitlin Clark 13/11/6. Terrible shooting day for her but she was able to get others in position to score and played well on the boards. #WNBA
While Clark couldn’t find any type of rhythm, that wasn’t the case for A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum. Wilson dropped 28 points and pulled down nine rebounds on 13-22 shooting, while Plum finished with a game-high 34 points on 55.0/54.5/85.7 shooting splits.
The Aces showed the Fever why they’re the reigning champions on Tuesday.
