Fans couldn’t help but resonate with Fever guard Caitlin Clark after a recent lighthearted moment during a postgame interview.
On August 28, the Indiana Fever secured their second consecutive win with an 84-80 victory over the Connecticut Sun at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The game drew a star-studded crowd, including the likes of Simone Biles and David Letterman, adding extra excitement to the evening.
Fever guard Caitlin Clark, who continues to make waves in her rookie season, broke the WNBA’s rookie season three-point record by sinking her 86th shot from beyond the arc early in the game. Clark concluded the night with an impressive stat line of 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. Her teammate, Kelsey Mitchell, led the team in scoring with 23 points, alongside 4 rebounds and 5 assists.
With Katie Lou Samuelson sidelined, Lexie Hull stepped into the starting lineup and delivered a standout performance. Since the Olympic break, Hull has been on fire from three-point range, shooting an astounding 70.03%—the highest percentage in the league during that span.
Hull, who contributed 17 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block in the win, joined Clark and Mitchell in the postgame press conference. However, while discussing her defensive efforts, Hull inadvertently triggered a humorous moment that left Clark in stitches.
“I was just trying to get my hands on as many balls as I could and take advantage of…” Hull began, before noticing Clark bursting into laughter. “Caitlin?… We’re done,” Hull said, realizing the unintended innuendo.
