Caitlin Clark Calls Out 'Sloppy' Fever Performance After Playoff Loss to Aces
Fever star Caitlin Clark reacted to her team's "sloppy" loss to the Las Vegas Aces in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
In a disappointing first-round playoff series loss, the Indiana Fever fell 102-85 to the defending champion Las Vegas Aces on Sunday. Star player Aja Wilson, recently named AP WNBA Player of the Year, delivered a standout performance with 38 points, 16 rebounds, four blocks, two assists, and two steals. The Fever's Caitlin Clark, who was recently awarded AP's WNBA Comeback Player of the Year, acknowledged her team's need to improve defensively, stating that their actions were sloppy and that their running wasn't great.
The Aces outscored the Fever in every quarter, holding a 27-point lead at one point, and made 59.1% of their field goals. The Aces now lead 1-0 in the best-of-three series and possess a strong chance at winning the WNBA Finals, while the Fever will have a chance to tie the series in Game 2 on Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. ET.
