How Clark flipped the script for the Indiana Fever

In early June, the Indiana Fever found themselves at a mediocre 5–5, dealing with injuries and feeling fragile after a heavy 77–58 loss to Atlanta. Then Caitlin Clark entered the scene—she had missed five games and was eager to get back on the court.

On June 14, she made her comeback against the formidable New York Liberty, who were enjoying a perfect 9–0 record. What transpired was no typical return: Clark racked up 32 points, including 25 before halftime, and sank seven threes—three of them in a mere 38 seconds—to thrill the home crowd.Not just offense—she was flirting with a triple-double, racking up nine assists and eight rebounds, proving why she's a top MVP candidate.

That powerful stretch set a franchise record for the most threes in a game (17), and the Fever dominated the Liberty with a massive 25–3 run in the third quarter, never looking back on their way to a 102–88 win.

Beyond the stat line, Clark highlighted unity as the secret weapon. In her postgame interview, she credited the team’s ability to “figure out how to play through [New York’s run] and go on a run of our own,” adding, “In the past, that’s where we would crumble… I’m just proud of everybody.”.

Coach Stephanie White shared her pride, commending Clark’s dynamic return and the team’s strong chemistry when facing tough situations.

Lexie Hull also mentioned that the Fever "trust each other" sufficiently to get through any difficulties.Even the New York coach admitted the influence: the Liberty were unbeatable until Clark and Indiana flipped the narrative.
