The Indiana Fever have returned to action after a month-long Olympic break, facing off against the Phoenix Mercury for the third time this season. Caitlin Clark wasted no time in making her presence felt, continuing her stellar form with a dominant first half performance that included 16 points, three 3-pointers, five assists, and four rebounds.
However, one particular play in the game has left fans in awe. With just over seven minutes remaining in the second quarter, Clark grabbed a rebound off a missed Phoenix shot and swiftly turned defense into offense. After just two dribbles, she unleashed a pinpoint, full-court bullet pass to a wide-open Kelsey Mitchell, who finished the play with an effortless layup.
The pass itself was a work of art, but what truly captivated fans was the stunning baseline camera angle captured by the WNBA. The ball seemed to fly directly toward the camera, creating a mesmerizing visual as Mitchell swooped in to complete the play.
Fans flooded social media to express their amazement at both the pass and the incredible camera angle.
“This was outstanding, and you could see it developing from our media seats behind the play. She saw the window immediately—and nailed the pass.”
