The New York Liberty showcased their dominance on the court as they cruised to a commanding 104-68 victory over the struggling Indiana Fever in a WNBA showdown.
Despite being a highly anticipated rookie star, Caitlin Clark had a rough night, managing just one basket and three points, marking her worst performance in her professional career so far.
Betnijah Laney-Hamilton led the charge for the Liberty with an impressive 20-point performance, while Jonquel Jones contributed 18 points to the team’s resounding win.
The game took a concerning turn when both Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston had to exit the court following separate incidents, with Clark shooting 1 for 10 and Boston leaving due to an awkward fall.
Indiana’s Kelsey Mitchell tried to spark a comeback with a 21-point effort, but the team couldn’t keep up with the Liberty’s relentless pace.
The Fever, playing their second game of a back-to-back series, have faced tough challenges with a packed schedule at the start of the season, with New York being one of their recent opponents.
New York capitalized on the fatigued Indiana team, establishing a commanding lead early in the game and never looking back.
Crowds continue to flock to watch Caitlin Clark play, with a significant turnout of 17,401 fans at the game, highlighting her star power and draw in the league.
Displaying unselfish play, all five Liberty starters contributed at least four assists each, showcasing the team’s strong chemistry on the court.
Looking ahead, the Indiana Fever will have a much-needed break before their next game against Washington, while the New York Liberty will face a rematch against Chicago, aiming to avenge an earlier loss.
