Clark thanked her teammates
for the successful night. .
A lot of the times, the people I’m
guarding are getting back on defense,
so I have a little more free rein of like
going and chasing the ball while our
bigs are probably boxing out and
hitting a little bit more. , Caitlin Clark, via statement.
So credit to them. I think we’re really
good when I can get it off the rim
and push in transition, so I take a lot
of pride in trying to chase it down
off the rim and then really go, Caitlin Clark, via statement.
However, Clark is still battling turnovers. .
She had six against the Mystics and currently has the most in the WNBA with 5.5 per game.
Still, the Fever's momentum is surely welcome as the team continues to find its footing.

The confidence that we’ve been able to
build from the last three games is, you know,
continue to take a step forward and learn
each game, and if we do happen to lose
one, how are we going to respond? , Caitlin Clark, via statement.
That’s been a big thing for us, too.
The last game we lost, we found a way
to respond and string off three straight
wins. I think we’ve gotten a lot better
over the course of these last three games
and we’re continuing to build on that, Caitlin Clark, via statement
