Indiana Fever Highlights vs. Atlanta Dream (Preaseason) | May 9, 2024

NaLyssa Smith recorded her second 20-point performance of the preseason (21 points, 6 rebounds, 56.3 field goal percentage), while Caitlin Clark finished with 12 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists and both Aliyah Boston (11 points) and Katie Lou Samuelson (11 points) scored in double digits as the Indiana Fever defeated the Atlanta Dream 83-80 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Thursday night.

The most fans the Fever had in attendance for a regular season game last year was 7, 356 fans. They averaged 4, 066 per home game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Believe it or not, Clark and the Fever almost doubled the attendance high from the regular season last year... in a preseason game. They had 13, 028 people show up on Thursday night to catch Clark take on the Atlanta Dream... I Saw this from a news feed

Great game Caitlin proved she can impact the game when her shots are not falling. She got open shots they just didn't fall. You could see how Caitlin being on the floor just makes the offense run so smoothly. She gets her teammates so many open shots. She had six assist but easily could have had 10+ but there was a lot of missed open layups and shoots. There was still some turnovers from miscommunication but that will get better with chemistry. I was surprised on how many double and at times triple teams Atlanta sent at Caitlin but that just shows how good of a offensive threat she is. Add on to it her 8 boards and a couple of defensive posesion and she had an all around great game. Nalyssa was a beast to on both ends of the floor and I was glad to see aliyah getting her confidence back. Celeste Taylor also showed why she can be a great asset cause of her ability to shot the three and her hustle and defense.

Haven’t really followed American Basketball much in a couple of decades. My team London Lions (men and women) and Olympics 3x3 peaked my interest whenever on. Caitlin Clark made global headlines and like many around the world got me fully hooked like Jordan did with the Bulls way back when. She is an absolutely phenomenal player.

Never thought I'd be checking the highlights of a WNBA game, let alone a preseason one! Shout out to Caitlin Clark and the Fever though 🫡💯! It's good to see the women finally get some love..

[JeanBeth-gm]

Smith, Samuelson and Wheeler are Clarks new receiver Marshall, Martin and Staulke. GO FEVER!

[paulkane]

Caitlin's court vision and passing is impressive.

[Juke]

Phenomenal game play tonight! Really missed Wheeler but wow 🤯 you are coming together great now! Great seeing Boston back! Amazing! 🤩

[brewbuildsit]

Berger had a huge impact in this game, she’s underrated and combined with Clark is dangerous!

What an awesome game. I can finally see what our starting 5 will be along with our 2nd unit rotation.

Atlanta played with a 3 guard that was countered with our standard line up. So glad we signed Katie Lou as she provides with the perfect wing defender and shooter. Temi will provide minutes spelling AB and Nalyssa. Berger and Celeste chipping in when heeded. It will be a crying shame on who gets cut but I hope we can hold on to them in case of injury. Hopefully the WNBA league will expand to a 15 man roster to help with injuries.

The whole team gelled together really well. They are all amazing.

Atlanta played them tough. I thought it was going to be a blowout at first but Indiana persevered and came back.

[robertrich]

100 percent. We love Caitlin Clark! Great role model.

[markuse]

Of course we don't expect dunks and quick-paced moves for a shot, but play their hearts these women do and make shots they do.
Congrats to Caitlin and The Fever!!!
So happy Gabbie Marshall was there supporting CC and The Fever. Much love.

Celeste Taylor's defense got the team rolling when she was in. Smith is a Dawg.

[leogetz]

Had to move the game up one day from Friday to Thursday because of the Pacers and the NBA playoffs and still put over 13, 000 people in the seats for a preseason game.

[traceyschreiber]

Celeste Taylor Also Played Awesome Tonight !!!

[celinebeanie]

Caitlin is the best. Atlanta had 4 guards on her lol

[thebestever]

another game where Smith, Mitchell & Boston showed why they are the core, the best 3 scorers & the future for the Indianapolis Flu

DT: Reality is coming

CC: Hold my Beer

As Caitlin learns where to make passes, teams will find it hard to stop Indiana's scoring
