Caitlin Clark Denied Game-Winning Shot in Fever’s Heartbreaking 91-90 Loss to Dream

In a heart-pounding finish, the Indiana Fever fell just short of a stunning comeback against the Atlanta Dream, losing 91-90. Despite Caitlin Clark's dazzling 27 points and 11 assists, the rookie sensation didn’t get a chance to take the potential game-winning shot, leaving fans in disbelief.

Trailing by double digits in the fourth quarter, Clark ignited a fierce rally with two long-range 3-pointers and a slick behind-the-back assist, tying the game with just over a minute to go. Aliyah Boston briefly put the Fever ahead with free throws, but Atlanta’s Rhyne Howard answered with clutch free throws to seal the victory.

With less than 10 seconds left, Clark inbounded the ball, but the Fever’s final plays went to Natasha Howard, whose shot was blocked, and Nia Coffey, who secured the rebound to run out the clock. Fans took to social media, stunned that Clark, who tied Courtney Vandersloot’s WNBA record for 20-point, 10-assist games in just her 42nd career game, wasn’t given the final shot.

Clark’s meteoric rise continues, averaging 23.5 points and 10.5 assists over her last two games, but this loss stings as a missed opportunity for a signature moment.
