Losing is never easy but bouncing back is much harder if one can’t take it on the chin, something that the Fever’s star admits she needs to work on.
When considering the idea that she scored 25 points while grabbing eight rebounds and providing eight assists, one can sympathize with Caitlin Clark for being frustrated by what ultimately turned out to be a loss for her and the Indiana Fever. She also managed to set a franchise record for the most threes in a season in a losing effort. On the other hand, there’s a point when anger does no good.
Caitlin Clark discusses emotional control…or lack thereof
On Friday night, the Indiana Fever took a five-point lead into the locker room at halftime and looked to be on their way to another all-important win. Unfortunately, the break did not have the desired effect as the Fever went on to score just 12 points in the third quarter, eventually falling to the Minnesota Lynx 99-88. Frustrating, to say the least. As mentioned before, Caitlin Clark was as expected, prolific. Sadly, her contribution was not enough to inspire the Fever to another win and it was something that she admitted post-game had a negative effect on her.
