Basketball World Reacts to Caitlin Clark’s Performance in Loss to Aces

The Indiana Fever appeared to have Thursday night’s game against the Las Vegas Aces won on two separate occasions.

However, Aces star Chelsea Gray drilled a game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime before hitting another game-winning 3-pointer in the extra period to lift Las Vegas to an 86-84 victory.

Gray finished with 11 points, including six on those two clutch shots, while shooting 4-for-10 from the field and 3-for-5 from beyond the arc.

As for Fever superstar Caitlin Clark, it’s likely a performance she’ll want to forget.

Clark finished with 20 points, eight assists and three rebounds, but she shot just 7-for-20 from the field, 2-for-10 from 3-point range and committed eight turnovers. One of those turnovers proved especially costly, as it led to Chelsea Gray’s game-winning 3-pointer in overtime.

Clark also had a chance to seal the game at the end of regulation. With the Fever leading 75-72 and 7.0 seconds remaining, the nearly 90% free-throw shooter missed both attempts at the line, which likely would have made it a two-possession game.
