New York Liberty vs Indiana Fever Game Summary

The New York Liberty vs Indiana Fever started with the visitors dominating the Fever with a big performance from Breanna Stewart. The reigning WNBA MVP hasn't slowed down and is making a statement in front of the rookie sensation.

Sabrina Ionescu has scored nine points so far, helping her squad take a comfortable advantage at the end of the first half.

On the other hand, the Fever are struggling, being so far behind in this game. Despite Aliya Boston and Katie Lou Samuelson's efforts (eight points apiece), the Fever can't seem to find a rhythm against a well-oiled team.

Clark is once again struggling with her shooting, scoring only two points in 16 minutes. She's committed three turnovers already after turning the ball over 10 times in the prior game.

Clark has only made one field goal on five attempts and hasn't been able to make a three-pointer in four attempts.

The picture doesn't look promising for the Fever, who couldn't score more than 16 points in each of the first two quarters. The Caitlin Clark era hasn't had a positive start and fans hope to see this situation turned around.

The 22-year-old is still adapting to the WNBA and her opponents are making things harder for her. If the Fever loses this game, there won't be any drama, but if Clark struggles again, she will raise some eyebrows around the league.
