Now the US women’s team down 10 to the WNBA all stars. No answer for Arike Ogunbowale.

WNBA beats USA 117-109

Would like to know the last time the USA’s A-team lost a game with their best players, and trying.

Ogunbowale may have had the best half ever for any woman ever. Zero points at half, and sets a record for points in an all-star game against the best team the world assembled.

Also that USA team has like 4 members of the LV team, and 3 members of PHX, 2 members of NY, and 1 each from SEA, MIN, Conn. So, there's more continuity on their roster than on the WNBA all stars and they got their butts handed to them. Should have finished at a teens blowout vs a single digit margin as the final 2-3 minutes was garbage time playground stuff.

Fever just outside a playoff spot. I was critical of Clark and her start but she's been playing consistently well in the league

 

[GKJ]

She finally got some time off, independent of whether she should’ve been on the Olympic team or not.

Season high 22 and 6/7 from 3 off the bench. Fever blow it open in the 4th

Caitlin Clark sets the season rookie record for 3’s. Fever beat the 22-7 Sun by 4.

Clark sets rookie 3 mark as hot Fever stifle Sun

Caitlin Clark broke Rhyne Howard's WNBA rookie record for 3-pointers in a season, and Kelsey Mitchell became the first Fever player to score 20-plus points five games in a row as Indiana beat Connecticut on Wednesday night 84-80.

Fever running over the Sky.

Has to be a boon for Ion network

Season/Career high 31 for Caitlin

Is this really a positive?

They limit potential audience for WNBA with this move

 

[Jussi]

Absolutely wild that 17% of the flagrant fouls this season have been committed against Caitlin Clark.

First time watching a stream of WNBA game, Dallas vs Indiana. Pretty entertaining and high scoring game, though I started watching just before half time.

 

[GKJ]

Nobody had ever had 31 and 12 in a single game before this week, Caitlin Clark was 3 points away from doing it in consecutive games. She had a 29 and 12 a few weeks ago, too. She was the first guard to go 20 and 12 5 times in a season. This was her 6th, and it was done in her last 11 games. 12 double doubles is the most by any guard in a single season.

She’s going to rewrite the record book at Gretzky-levels.

Fever over .500 after starting 1-8. 6-1 since the break. First time ever with 100 points in consecutive games.

A'ja Wilson goes for 41 and 17

On off day, Clark, Fever secure a playoff berth

What's already been a landmark 2024 for Caitlin Clark got even better Wednesday, as the Indiana Fever qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 2016, ending the franchise's seven-year postseason drought that tied for the longest in WNBA history.

Clark collects 2nd triple-double as Fever stay hot

Caitlin Clark got her second WNBA triple-double and became the quickest player to reach 100 3-pointers in a season as the Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks for a fifth win in a row.

Caitlin Clark is box office, the pettiness in the WNBA should stop. This woman is bringing in the dollars for this product which has been lacking for decades.

Curious what pronouns Cheryl Swoops is using these days.
