Clark Leads Indiana Against Phoenix After 26-Point Game
Clark scored 26 points, but Indiana committed 19 turnovers and allowed Atlanta to pull away in the second half, coach Stephanie White said.
On Saturday, the Indiana Fever lost 113-96 to the Atlanta Dream at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, marking the second consecutive game where the team allowed at least 108 points.
Head coach Stephanie White faces intense scrutiny following the loss, as the Fever have now surrendered double-digit leads in 6 of the last 7 contests, raising questions about defensive execution.
While star guard Caitlin Clark scored 26 points, Indiana committed 19 turnovers that fueled Atlanta's offense; White drew criticism for not challenging officiating that sidelined Aliyah Boston with foul trouble.
Fans are calling for White to publicly address the officiating, comparing her response to how Becky Hammon has handled similar concerns in past situations.
Indiana hosts the Phoenix Mercury on Monday at 8 p.m. EDT, where defensive improvement and turnover reduction will be critical to bouncing back into the win column.
