Caitlin Clark’s frustration boiled over after a crucial turnover in the Indiana Fever’s 101-93 loss to the Dallas Wings. The rookie sensation angrily slammed a water bottle after losing the ball with her team trailing by four points in the final minute. Despite her record-breaking 19 assists, the costly mistake overshadowed a standout performance featuring 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting.
Trailing 97-93 with less than 45 seconds remaining, Clark’s turnover proved to be a turning point. She drove the ball towards the 3-point line but lost control after Odyssey Sims stole it from behind. Dallas capitalized on this momentum shift during a timeout, which exacerbated Clark’s frustration.
Although Clark averages 17.1 points, 8.2 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game, turnovers continue to be an issue. She averages 5.6 turnovers per game this season. Clark acknowledged her tendency to overpass, expressing a need to strike a better balance between shooting and assisting, especially when setting up key players like Aliyah Boston.
