Would it have happened any other way?
Caitlin Clark, playing in her first WNBA preseason game in an Indiana Fever uniform, nailed a deep 3-pointer for her first bucket as a professional.
Shortly after she recorded a defensive rebound, Clark knocked down a 28-foot trey with 9:12 left in the first quarter as she sank her first attempt from the floor.
It only got better from there as she led all scorers — from both the Fever and the Wings — with 16 points in the first half.
She went 5 of 9 from the field and 4-for-8 from 3-point land, adding two rebounds and an assist.
She showed off her shooting range and her ball skills, creating a number of highlight-reel-worthy plays in the first two quarters.
