The Indiana Fever were confident about facing the Chicago Sky on Sunday as they were the more dominant side in their previous two meetings. However, the results didn’t go as per their expectations and a tiny part of the blame falls on Caitlin Clark.

The point guard who usually impresses basketball lovers with her phenomenal shooting skills might have disappointed some with her decision not to shoot in the crucial moments of the game. Following the 87-88 loss, Clark justified her action.

Addressing the matter in the post-game press conference, the 22-year-old stated, “I’m sure there was an opportunity or two for me to probably attempt another shot there at the end, but I trust my teammates… I’m gonna give them the ball every time.”

There was a particular instance in the final quarter when Clark seized a defensive rebound. She quickly ran with the ball to the other side of the court but, instead of aiming for the bucket, she looked around to pass the ball to her teammates. Clark found Kristy Wallace, but her shot stubbornly refused to hit the target.

That was not it. The ball was still with the Fever. However, the former Iowa guard passed it on to Aliyah Boston. Clark might not have won the game, but she surely won the hearts of her teammates.
