The Indiana Fever have emerged as the WNBA’s most electrifying team following the Olympic break, with Caitlin Clark’s exceptional performance playing a significant role. The team has used the break to enhance their on-court chemistry, which was on full display in Sunday’s matchup against the Dallas Wings.
A standout moment showcased the Fever’s fluid and creative ball movement. Early in the first quarter, Clark executed a spectacular one-handed, three-quarter-court pass to Kelsey Mitchell. Mitchell then dazzled with a perfect behind-the-back pass to NaLyssa Smith, who completed the play with a layup. The entire sequence was a testament to their impressive teamwork and chemistry.
