Caitlin Clark discusses disappointing performance against the Connecticut Sun

Against the Connecticut Sun, the Fever lost out narrowly with a 88-84 defeat at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and Clark‘s performance was one of the big talking points.

The game went down to the wire, but the Fever couldn’t pull it off. Aliyah Boston – the No. 1 pick in the WNBA 2023 Draft – came close to tying the game with six seconds left but missed an open layup.

Clark, who recorded 17 points, three rebounds, and five assists, was blamed for her part in the defeat after being penalised for her first technical foul since playing in the WNBA.

Fans turn on Caitlin Clark

Despite her efforts, some fans still took to social media to hand the blame to Clark and let off Watson – pointing to the foul as the moment the game turned.

One fan said: “Funny to me how people are blaming Aliyah Boston for the loss when at the 4 min mark of the 4th and the Fever up by 4, Caitlin Clark turned the ball over which led to a Harris 3 then turned the ball over again in the next possession then committed a take foul then got a tech”

Another added: “Aliyah Boston will be blamed for the Fever‘s loss but the Caitlin Clark transition take foul and technical really changed the game momentum. On the very next play Caitlin Clark then turned the ball over. So let’s be fair and not dogpile on Boston.”

Caitlin Clark is a half second show on defense. Technical foul and bad challenge cost them”.

Clark and the Fever will go again as they go for a first win when they take on the Seattle Storm on Wednesday, May 22.
