Caitlin Clark jokes about 1 thing she needed in historic Fever game vs. Sky

CHICAGO — Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark had to get an air ball in. That’s what she said, reclining in her chair and grinning at teammate Kelsey Mitchell after their 100-81 blowout win over the Chicago Sky. The duo combined for 54 points, with Clark posting her new career-best 31.
Midway through the fourth quarter, Clark heaved from 26 feet out. Even that distance didn’t seem right: she was three steps in front of the logo. It didn’t touch rim, which doesn’t happen often for the rookie. The Sky’s 6-foot-7 rookie, Kamilla Cardoso, contested the shot, so that didn’t help either. While walking back up the floor, it looked like Cardoso said something to Clark about it.
It could have been about Cardoso’s height, and good luck to Clark trying to make it over her. The Fever rookie later laughed at herself while waiting for the next play, then turned around and pointed upward. It looked like it was aimed at the scoreboard on the side wall. That would be an appropriate comeback to Cardoso. The Fever led by 25 points. Their largest lead Friday was 27.
