Caitlin Clark's Teammates Step Up In First Indiana Fever Win!

Robin discusses the Indiana Fever finally getting a win this WNBA season in a team effort against the Los Angeles Sparks, while also praising Caitlin Clark's all around game.

[@ghsense2626]

Fagbenle should start every game, she spaces the floor better, and her chemistry with Clark is 🔥

[@omotayosatuyi252]

I think both Boston and Temi should start that seemed to work well

[@snave59]

Agee 100%.She is good.

[@StewsReplay]

@@omotayosatuyi252 BOSTON seems to have small hands....she constantly has to reset a pass to her.

[@francescadac6082]

Fagbenle is Caitlin Clark’s Stuelke!!! I thought it was going to be Boston but this pair will do magic together! Great fit! New fan of #14!

[@StewsReplay]

@@francescadac6082 Golden Hands!!!! Temi!!!!!

[@zealazax6287]

Caitlin is an elite level passer but when she was in a shooting funk all her teammates stepped up.

[@TaiyouArt]

Passing touch is crazy and the whip on the passes

[@myapatterson8228]

Already the best passer in the league

[@bobby12348]

​@@myapatterson8228really 😂😂

[@seancrawford1422]

​@@myapatterson8228Nice joke 😂🤣 C.C has no defense and too many turnovers. Highest turnovers in the WNBA 1-5 calm down 👎😂🤣

[@Bluzmn]

Boston looked like herself tonight and Mitchell is finally healthy. CC on a poor shooting night hit two logo threes when it mattered along with 11 rebounds and 8 assists (could have been more). The Fever actually played like a team tonight - it was good to see.

[@Copterman]

So exciting! And so thrilled for Boston!

[@amyk6319]

Me too. I know she messed up not being ready, but the sophomore slump is real. But she worked thru it & did so well this game. Having her playing well is so important to this teams success. And so glad to also see her & CC find ways to work together too. I can tell they really want to help each other & find ways to make plays.

[@LavaKimo]

She had me worried in the beginning of the game, then she found her game and was terrific.

[@zealazax6287]

Clark , Mitchell,Smith, Fagbenle and Boston is the ultimate line up.

[@romelovesdan]

Said that my self to my wife as we watched this one...

[@Bluzmn]

I said that to my wife, too

[@TaiyouArt]

Fagbenle is a must , high energy , efficient. Averages 60% fg percent , and rebounder

[@ranilcurry615]

Fever will lose by 20 to the New York Liberty on Saturday.

[@snave59]

@@TaiyouArt Why has she not been starting? She is good.

[@casilatino]

I think the coach must be seeing how special Caitlin is when she has 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and one crucial block at the end. And two bomb 3s when the game was very close. Good shooters just keep shooting until they get their stroke.

[@amyk6319]

I was so happy to see Boston do so well. She has gotten out of her funk. It was also great to see her & CC find a way to figure out their passing too. Temi was a firecracker as always. I think Kelsey & CC are both better shooters in the 2nd half. They often have to warm up to it.

[@Mike-zc4qe]

I am elated that the Fever won tonight!!! The entire team was great! I think Clark's best quality is her passing! The other players were shooting great, but the bottom line is they all played great! Congratulations to The Indiana Fever!!!!!!!!! These players, Clark, Mitchell, Smith, Fagbenle were awesome!!!

[@bwill3337]

Don't forget Boston 17, 6, 2

[@CCBB157]

Not sure about Smith - seems slow?

[@survivrs]

That was freaking awesome!!! When Caitlin hit those 2 late game 3's, the place erupted.

[@RaggedAdam]

At an away game.

[@kenswift12345]

Great team win! Temi is such a surprise. AB with a solid game and Kelsey is just a beast!

[@lizhricik]

Sides kept Clark in the game, and it’s working❤

[@joycei5926]

Absolutely. I can’t believe she benched her against Seattle with 4 minutes left in the game.

[@starpower4191]

Caitlin Clark was 2 assists away from a triple double!! The 2 logo 3’s were awesome!

[@quasarrad1464]

Welcome back AB!

[@RaggedAdam]

Everyone talks trash on CC's defense. She had four steals and a couple blocks. Part of defense is also rebounding.

[@romelovesdan]

Finally! Go Fever!

[@gualbertogarcia305]

CAITLIN CLARK, 2 “ BIG TIME 3’s” in HIGH PRESSURE, CRITICAL GAME ENDING SITUATIONS. WOW ….

[@Bigbitsuni]

Stop it the game was already done lol

[@petep5207]

Robin, get it straight: Win or lose, Caitlin Clark fans are here to stay.

[@NoahFishing7]

if Boston and Mitchell play like this every game we have a chance! lets go FEVER!!!

[@snave59]

And Fagbenle.She looked great.

[@davidcobler5705]

Huge team win going into tomorrow’s game against the Aces. Nice critique here! Thanks!!

[@logician32gaming31]

teammates kept the fever in the game and CC put a dagger in the sparks . Great team win

[@kevinerose]

Caitlin also shows great leadership skills. Through 5 losses, she has kept her cool and refused to make excuses on camera. And she seems to be turning the attitude of her team around to maintain a winning mentality with the other players. This team should have some hidden talent locked up in there somewhere and Caitlin's attitude could just unlock that.

[@rikmeistr46]

Boston missed her first 4 shots in the paint off CC feed. She did get it together 2nd qtr on. Good win Fever.

[@Bostonterrier441]

Cc didn't miss any

[@TaiyouArt]

Yea I was punching air

[@michaelkees7303]

How many shots did Clark miss in the first quarter 😂 everyone has their moments

[@survivrs]

@@michaelkees7303 You don't want her to stop, because as cold as she started, it took much too long to find her shot, when she does, she can hit from anywhere on the front court.

[@anniegarrett3242]

Those long 3s for CC are buzzer-beater shots for other players. What an arsenal!! A win!

[@nancy9891]

Great game!! Fun to see them win tonight! Boston showed up tonight. She played faster!

[@jdneely9939]

Clark/Temi are the Clark/Stuelke this team needs to be doing from here on out. Temi running the floor like a legit rim runner. Still not sold on Boston being a fit with Clark n Mitchell run n gun offense but hopefully she can adapt more like tonight's game.

[@stevemd6488]

CC had a great game, remember the greatest 3 pt shooters miss 6/10, and CC hit when the game was on the line. Her passing, rebounds, and assists (a few I saw she didn't get credit for) plus sheer court presence kept them in the game till her teammates came alive.

[@Meggiebeth19]

What a great game! Awesome teamwork! So happy for them! Go Fever. Agree CC’s passes are worthy of jumping out of your chair!😁

[@ALLENWILLIAMS-c7l]

Clark is THE FIRST player to come into the WNBA that people are excited about. The Indianapolis Colts went 3-13 in Payton Manning’s first season. If Clark’s teammates learn her tempo and her coach gives her the keys and lets her drive, people will see. She’s the greatest to ever play in the WNBA. By far.

[@bwill3337]

She may become that, but not right now. And that's ok. Let her grow.

[@rap3208]

She only had 5 pro games. You could argue if you say greatest in college, but saying her the greatest in wnba when she only had 5 games will only make the haters hate Cklark more. Come back in a year or two...or three.

[@lizhricik]

Less Wheeler, golden 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@hood_TheJoker]

CC decided to make that shot, If the coach allowed her and let her loose she would have gone crazy. Her team mates and most WNBA not ready for the speed of CC new generation. When those girls get to WNBA league will be 🔥🔥🔥, now players too slow , cnt even catch a pass. Cant reAd Court and position. Catlyin Clark is A head of time for WNBA 💯 FACTS

[@bandislife2004]

AB got the message from Sides at the post game conference when she talked about how great Temi F. performed.

[@snave59]

Fagbenle and Mitchell,should both be starting.

[@PiscesMoon2You]

As a team they are getting better each game especially for Not having any practices only shoot arounds. Imagine when they get home and can actually practice plays.

[@bandislife2004]

It's Caitlin's assists that propelled those players !!

[@lizhricik]

Boston showed up❤

[@joycei5926]

4 of the em are in double figures which is great that spells team work. Like it or not it’s Caitlin who truly is finding he opening and moving the ball and pushing for plays. Those passes phew. And the clutch 3 points.

[@libertyfarmsiowa]

I’m so happy for Aliyah. She’s such a wonderful young woman so it’s hard to watch her struggle. Temi is on a fast train to 6th man of the year award. I’m so anxious for Caitlin to drop 30 and she will, but it’s probably going to take a few games with her focused on being the “executive ASSISTant” passing the ball to covered receivers like a Brady, Rogers, and even CJ Stroud to open her up for more clean looks. I saw that in the second half, even though she still missed a few it looked like the Spark’s D let off of CC when she’d pull up from deep because she was missing a lot and because she pulled up and passed when she had a clear shot (maybe for the same reason, knowing she was struggling. Smart to pass to the hotter hands). But I think this will eventually lead to her blowing up for 30 at some point. The Fever D in the 2nd half was finally a FENCE keeping the sparks out of the Fever’s yard. Hallelujah! I will admit that first half had me worried. I was talking a lot to my TV at half time. Hard to believe I’m getting so emotional over WNBA games.

[@davidmathewson1088]

I said on day one, Boston, Clark and Mitchell forms a talented nucleus to build around next 2-3 years.

[@joycei5926]

I am glad to see Caitlin not being benched at crucial time. And giving g her minutes. Sometime players need to find their rhythm and wake up more. And glad her teammates are now able to step up and read the passes.

[@HO-jv4yt]

Salute to Aliyah Boston and Kelsey Mitchell great game..

[@Itellthetruthhere]

Not a Fever fan, but great for them! 🥳

[@wiremu9876]

Right on the money bro. It's tough trying to stay on the process. They battled hard and kept the 2 pointers flowing no matter how just make the hard ones but appreciate the ezee's.

[@A.J.Schreiber]

Go Fever!!

[@boondoggle4820]

I’m not a Caitlin Stan though I am a fan (but I’m just as much of a fan of at least six other rookies), but I was hoping that they would get this win because they could use it and their schedule continues to be tough. I don’t see them winning against either the Aces or the Sky.

[@tootsx8675]

So happy for them 👏🏾 🎉

[@SoCaliGuyHB394]

Fever team finally played with energy. Boston still seemed clumsy.

[@johngarrett6256]

Glad to hear him giving team mates credit 👍😀

[@chhabrialowe9416]

Yeah she did the Jordan shrug at Iowa. She’s right on track, but Aces is gonna be fast paced . I know they’ll be so tired when the get back to Indiana.

[@kennethgolden5539]

Caitlin is missing a lot of open 3's so far this year. Once they drop this team will be really good. She also could have had 6 more assist. Strange to see CC no longer looking to be the primary scorer. Fagbenle is in exceptional athlete. Boston had a good game. Started off with easy misses for her. The Sparks were also terrible last year. They are playing Rickea Jackson and Cameron Brink two rookies in their starting line up.

[@playerx2006]

Wow Boston was so good! That's the Boston I heard about but never seen

[@dukelombardi4565]

Boston was rebounding so well Caitlins missed 3’s were Boston put back 2s.

[@zealazax6287]

Erica Wheeler doesn't fit well with this team.

[@Bluzmn]

She needs to sit and Grace should be playing

[@littlegmod]

​@@Bluzmn Yes, Grace and I would like to see what C. Taylor can do in a game too.

[@amyk6319]

I agree. And you can take out Sides other favorite pet Wallace too. Grace needs to be the backup PG & also play with having both CC & Grace on the floor a bit occasionally too. And bring in Taylor when you need some extra defense & breaks for other players. I think Wheeler & Wallace mess up the rhythm & moral of the team. You can even see the energy change when Wheeler is subbed in. I think they may be bubble wrapping Grace, so they can trade her, which I would hate to see. She's such a better backup PG than Wheeler. I think the coach wants more experienced vets on the team, but I think they should embrace the youthfulness of Fever's talent.

[@chevyyyyyyy]

Boston plays OK, not lazily today. She needs to do the same next time which should prove her improvement.

[@jbethwal]

Clark KNOWS how to WIN, ESP in the clutch - IF ALLOWED TO.

[@mcgeedishon1]

Good game for Indiana 🎉🎉🎉

[@PiscesMoon2You]

Vegas hame with Kate and CC playing against each other. Plus as a Bonus Coach Bluder is going to be in the stands. Two of her girls are playing and she's going to be there to support both. CC needs to Not Pass to Kate out of habit because Kate will take it and score for the Aces with it. 😀

[@coolhand96]

Hey Make that 3 Of Coach Bluder’s Girls Don’t Forget about Megan that Her Last year At Iowa was a Year before Caitlin Came to Iowa

[@Gator-xi2jq]

Finally her team mates stepped up. Boston started playing som real basketball.

[@petep5207]

How messed up must it feel when your "home" game is sold out...and 80% are cheering for the other team?

[@dwightcurrie8316]

Caitlin's First WNBA Win, and First WNBA Double Double, but Sides Still Needs To Be Sacked. her best move tonight was not Taking CC out when they went on a Run, One Contested Call(Successful), and doing little or Nuthin else....... Boston Came To Play Tonight, and so did Mitchell, and Fegbendle. CC's shot was off but her "Facilitating(Rebounding, Passing and Assisting) was not and after missing long balls all night she drops Two Desperately Needed 3 Point Logo Shots....Tell us again how Bad and "Not Clutch" CC is.

[@davidweiss8710]

Sides may have been resting Smith for the LV Aces game tomorrow night.

[@Itellthetruthhere]

Taking a minute to put some respect on Rob’s name 🙌 . You alright with me.

[@TheRobinLundberg]

Thank you!

[@jonathancaldwell6342]

Hopefully, coach Sides finally "gets it" and learns from her past mistakes in the 5 losses. Spread the wealth and leave Caitlin in the 4th quarter. And no more animosity from her teammates and work as a team. If they can beat Vegas and the other woke left, maybe I'll change my opinion of the coach.

[@Bluzmn]

CC will never be a lock down defender, but she was fine tonight, I noticed that she was fighting over screens tonight instead of running under them.

[@TheRobinLundberg]

Several blocks also she’s been much better on that end the last two

[@petep5207]

four steals, too. Agree, she will never be Rdoman or Gary Payton. They must put great defenders around her to help and let her focus on PG and shooting.

[@User26765]

They had too or they would have lost .. Caitlin shots were not falling at all against the “Sparks” Boston and Mitchell clutch up🔥🔥

[@snave59]

Caitlin is not hitting 3 pointers,as accurately as she did in college.

[@Kraze4you143]

They’ve had a busy schedule. I do wonder if with rest she will be able to get more in. Their schedule is tiring

[@michaelnordman4334]

I argue The Fever did not win this game rather The Sparks lost it. The Sparks shot themselves in the foot the second half. This was that game The Fever won despite the coach. You may see a few of those this season. Still with an 8 player rotation. Good players not getting any playing time.

[@redwinstead7873]

Clark is being held down by sides wat are you smoking ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CCBB157]

Well I hope they keep Clark in most of the game against the ACES, Fagbenle, Mitchel too. They move as fast as Clark. Boston hopefully keeps improving too. She just seemed out of shape to me. I'm not sure who else fits with this foursome best. Having never watched the Fever until Clark came, it seems like NaLyssa Smith is out of shape?

[@aboss4ever563]

Team game always wins..That’s what the Cc effect,doesn’t seem to see.She was not hitting but she kept shooting..So be as hard as on Cc as you do Boston.Not you just to the casuals that watch.Cause they’ll look at every one else but CC.i think they’ll be fine.The sparks guard that lock Cc down.Id hate to see her on another team..She played her but off.

[@madarao1991]

I'm going to put money on Cameron Brink for rookie of the year

[@petep5207]

If you have money to spare...and lose. Be my guest. It is Caitlin's award.

[@amyk6319]

I will give Sides the credit that she stayed out of their way in the 4th quarter and let them play. She also did good with that challenge b/c that was early & she seems to not to want to take risks with the Refs, so that was a good improvement for her. But before the game she was talking about wanting players to hit more mid & long 2s again, the most undependable shots you can take (there have even been studies showing this). So they kept trying & missing those in the first quarter & of course that was a disaster. I hope she won't keep pushing that because as soon as they stopped trying to make those mid/long 2s, they finally started making shots.

[@michaelkees7303]

Let's be honest, if Brink didn't get into early foul trouble, this would've been another L.

[@gallardohomer]

That's a big meaningless "if".

[@DuncannWright-nf3eo]

Yayyyyy

[@willreeves6062]

Aces Up Next 1-6 😅

[@TheDisruptiveOne]

true, but they were staring at 0-7

[@hottrakz]

Are we gonna celebrate over a win against a team that's barely as good as them, both teams were trash of course they're gonna look confident. They finally played defense because it wasn't the offensive scoring. Caitlin Clark play a solid defensive game today and she moved a little more without the ball the two shots that went in came in at clutch time so the 2-9 from the 3 don't really count. They should enjoy this win because tomorrow unfortunately they play Las Vegas and we know how that's going to go.

[@varj7]

Yes! lol

Great white goat nope.
