More than 13,000 fans were in attendance as Caitlin Clark made her home preseason debut on Thursday in an 83-80 victory for the Indiana Fever over the Atlanta Dream.
The atmosphere inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis belied the less important nature of a preseason game, the crowd whooping loudly as Clark made her first home bucket on a driving layup in the first half.
Clark finished with 12 points, eight rebounds and six assists but had a difficult shooting night, going 4-of-12 from the field and 2-of-9 from deep.
“I don’t think I was that effective, honestly,” Clark told reporters after the game. “I thought more than anything I did a really good job of passing the ball, finding my teammates.
“I think I got into the paint, obviously, I would have liked to make a couple more threes, but sometimes, that’s how you shoot it.
“We really responded after we kind of had a slow start. Obviously, we don’t want to have slow starts, but it’s good to see us be able to respond and take the lead back and grind it out until the end.”
