WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark offered the same reaction watching Tyrese Haliburton's late-game heroics during the Indiana Pacers' shocking comeback over the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Natasha Howard scored 26 points and the Indiana Fever overcame Caitlin Clark's cold long-distance shooting to beat the Atlanta Dream 81-76 before a sellout crowd on Thursday night to split a two-game series this week.
Speaking to Sports Illustrated as part of her new "With the Assist" platform with State Farm, which aims to shine a spotlight on real-life assists that frequently go unrecognized but make a significant impact, Clark discussed feeling star-struck during her first commercial shoot with the brand.
Griner played 30 minutes and finished with 21 points, eight rebounds and two assists in Atlanta’s narrow 91-90 win over Indiana. She shot 8-for-13 from the field and knocked down 5-of-6 free throws. Though she fouled out late in the game, Griner was dominant during her time on the court.
