Caitlin Clark’s remarkable, record-breaking rookie season has come to an end. But not without a fight. The first-team All-WNBA selection helped lead a spirited Indiana Fever effort in an eventual, 87-81 loss to Connecticut in Wednesday’s Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.
Clark played all 40 minutes Wednesday night and led the Fever with 25 points on 10-of-23 shooting. She added nine assists and six rebounds and helped Indiana claw all the way back to take the lead late in the fourth quarter. But the veteran Sun put the Fever away with some timely 3-pointers and physical defense.
Here’s what the Fever star said postgame:
Asked about her plans for the offseason, Clark said, “I was focused on beating the Connecticut Sun. I haven’t thought too far down the line. I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow or what I’m going to do the next day. So, maybe play some golf. That’s what I’m gonna do until it becomes too cold in Indiana. I’ll become a professional golfer.”
“Honestly, I feel like there’s been so many amazing moments, but it’s the moments that none of you see that I enjoyed the most, it’s not the basketball. It’s the people I get to spend it with, whether it’s my family, whether it’s my teammates. That’s what’s made it special.
Those are the people that know me the best. Those are the people I really care about. So, at the end of the day basketball is basketball, it is what it is. The people around me are the ones who let me be good at it, let me be myself.
So I don’t think it’s like anything on the court that I would pick, like yeah, there’s been a lot of great moments, making the playoffs, getting drafted, whatever it is, getting to the national championship game, like that’s all really cool but at the end of the day it’s the people and the relationships and the memories outside… if it’s not for you as a professional athlete, I feel like you’re doing it wrong.
Yeah, championships are great, hopefully we have a few of those, but you want to have really good relationships with people at the end of the day, so I feel like it’s all that and you can’t just put your finger on one thing.”
