INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Caitlin Clark and her Indiana Fever teammates spent the first part of this week discussing a heated sideline exchange, a lengthy team meeting, even their early-season defensive woes.On Thursday night, the 2025 Commissioner’s Cup champions started working on a turnaround.From the pregame team huddle to Clark’s chest bump of coach Stephanie White during a third-quarter stoppage, the Fever moved beyond the weeklong drama and looked unified, committed and determined as they began their Cup title defense with an 83-71 victory over the Atlanta Dream.“A lot of people have called and asked me how I am, and I said, ‘What do you mean? I’m great,’” Clark said. “I think a lot of self-reflection from everybody (this week), like look yourself in the mirror and find ways to get better. That’s certainly what I did.”Clark still isn’t shooting like her typical self.
She was 6 of 17 from the field and 2 of 8 from 3-point range on a night when she vomited at halftime. She still finished with 17 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and only three turnovers in 31 minutes while playing much better defense.
