Fan Returns After Discussion:
A follow-up report mentioned that the fan was allowed back into the game after talking with security. Meanwhile, Clark seemed fired up on the court. She had earlier bumped into DeWanna Bonner and exchanged words after a three-point attempt.

Caitlin’s Strong Start:
Clark’s energy was evident from her performance; she scored six points in the first quarter, shooting two-of-four from three-point range while grabbing four rebounds and dishing out three assists.
Fans love seeing such intensity on display!
The Fever surged ahead to a nine-point lead early in Game 2 but couldn’t maintain it.
The Sun Fight Back:
Connecticut outscored Indiana by 37-21 in the second quarter, taking a seven-point lead at halftime (41-34). Despite her hot start, Clark cooled off considerably: she made just three more field goals and missed all her three-pointers for the rest of the half.
Indiana now faces an uphill battle as they trail by one game in this best-of-three series. They need to make up ground quickly if they hope to keep their season alive for another day.
