    Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever secured a crucial 84-79 victory over the Atlanta Dream on Monday as the two teams battle for a spot in the playoffs.

    Clark left the game briefly after spraining her ankle, but returned to the court in the second quarter and finished with 19 points, seven assists and seven rebounds. She also made four three-pointers to tie the WNBA rookie record for three-pointers made in a season.

    Clark’s backcourt opponent, Kelsey Mitchell, led Indiana with 29 points and seven rebounds, while Aliyah Boston had 14 points and 11 rebounds.

    After the win, fans were very excited about Clark and the Fever’s chances in the playoffs as the season draws to a close.

    There is no backcourt playing better than Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell right now. They are demons.

    Jacob Rude @JacobRude

    Caitlin Clark is something else. It can’t be overstated how good she’s been as a rookie

    Josh Boeke @JoshBoeke

    Caitlin Clark’s passing is simply better than anyone I’ve seen in the WNBA so far.

    The Fever is gone as a team that surprises a higher seeded team in the first round of the play-offs 🥴 #WNBA

    The Fever are hitting their stride at the right time. If they can get to that 6th spot, it will be a good matchup for the Fever against Minnesota in the playoffs.

    The Fever are hoping, I have to say. They can be dangerous, they are in the play-offs.

    Fever can win a playoff series

    Since the end of June, the Fever have been playing different types of basketball and it has been nothing short of impressive.
    I would say they are going to be a problem but they are already proving they can be a problem. Can’t wait for the play-offs. Can’t wait for next season already

    Caitlin Clark & ​​​​Kelsey Mitchell – best backcourt in the league

    With the win, the Fever improved to 14-17, surpassing their win total from a season ago. Indiana’s 14 wins are the most since the 2016 season when it ended at 17-17, the same year the Fever made their last playoff appearance.

    The Dream currently sit ninth in the WNBA standings, while the Fever are seventh, so Atlanta was hoping for a crucial win to pull ahead. Meanwhile, Indiana is closing in on the sixth-seeded Phoenix Mercury. If the Fever can put together a good run, they could improve their playoff standings even further.
