Caitlin Clark's stepback three is PURE 🔥 https://t.co/lJbFvmEGUI
The passing from Caitlin Clark has been there when she's found space. Nice bounce pass to hit Fagbanle rolling. Got the Liberty in rotation and you saw what it opens up. More purpose from the Fever in the 2nd half. https://t.co/4dOYisYUEt

Caitlin Clark will be fine. The Fever need to play more inside to outside. Her handle will improve, but right now, it's best for her and the team to lean more on her passing and her being an off ball scoring threat (off screens). Have to give her some easier looks early.
Caitlin Clark having trouble finding her groove in the WNBA so far. WNBA hoops ain’t no joke. https://t.co/k1THXRI97T
Liberty continue to pull away midway through the third quarter. They lead 63-44 and will shoot free throws when we come back from the break. 4:36 left in the period. #IndianaFever
More of Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston in P&R. Good adjustment to set the screens higher. Jonquel is above the 3PT line but no hard show. Clark does a good job of dragging it out, hits Boston in the pocket. Short roll before Stewie can help. https://t.co/CjEzCxuXW7
Good set from the Fever here to use their talent together. Aliyah Boston catches at the Elbow, Fever stagger away for Caitlin Clark in the corner. Holds the defense, gives Boston room to drive left and finish. https://t.co/1FEohRx2Aq
