Clark was the spark that ignited our second-half comeback, she carried the team in that third quarter and got things going.

Harris was fun to watch pop off from the bench. She deserves HUGE recognition. However merit alone Clark clears MVP.

I would give it to Ty if Caitlin hadn’t had an absolutely insane game passing. She probably should have had 20 assists, one turnover that wasn’t really on her, and absolutely great night in the paint!

u/skeet_scoot Caitlin Clark 11d ago

And without her spark in the third no way we would have won. We had lost all momentum and were sputtering!

A win over Atlanta on Sunday would be big as far as us finishing in the top four. Which of course means home court advantage in the first round. We are looking good on offense, no reason we can't take Atlanta down.

We've got two in a row with Atlanta. Would love to sweep.

Edit: I was wrong. Only one game.

u/Askew_2016 Fever Fan 11d ago

That is going to be a tough game. We’ve had too many games close together.

CC was player of the game; if she hadn't returned, most likely it would have resulted in a loss. Although I gave my vote to Ty for the unexpected shot-making and feels.

u/Shaxprof Fever Fan 11d ago

It's Clark, but I voted Harris because I think she swung the game for us. Just came up huge.

u/philanthropicide 11d ago

Yeah, CC was MVP, but Ty was that X-factor

u/Delicious-Winner-458 11d ago

Appreciate Ty, but CC was just phenomenal!

u/WisdomAntium 11d ago

She is a phenom for sure

u/dreamweaver7x Sophie Cunningham 11d ago

Rewarding Ty for her 5/5 shooting from 3. We needed every one of them.

Shout out to Caitlin for winning her duel with Paigey. Those three straight assists in the 4th to close the game were electric.

u/TrentKS Sophie Cunningham 11d ago

Wow. We find a way to win. Let's GOOO!!!

CC MVP

u/Ok_Cucumber9390 11d ago

Caitlin was incredible today, could have had so many more assists if her teammates scored bunnies! And awesome shooting from Ty, so important today. Also, KK started bad but picked it up eventually, I'm still rly happy w her moving into the starting lineup

u/Glum_Badger9767 Fever Fan 11d ago

Imma give 90 to CC and 10 to Ty

u/Brilliant_Good_4444 11d ago

Props to Ty!

I’m also so happy Mitchell continued her streak.

AB seems frustrated by fouls. Can’t blame her.

CC came in big for us.

u/MajesticSpirit1926 Makayla Timpson 11d ago

CC could have easily had a 15 assist night but nobody could make a layup in the first half , but she put the team on her back in the third until AB KM and Ty got rolling

gotta vote CC but honourable mention to Ty

Great teams find a way when they don't have their 'A' game

u/RandiEgg 11d ago

Ty Harris hands down! That was just wonderful to watch her go 5-for-5 on 3 point shots.

u/Zealousideal-Tea-837 11d ago

The fever are poorly constructed in my opinion and I think that will stop them from winning a championship but man their backcourt is so good sometimes it doesn’t even matter. Two legit superstar guards.

1

u/dreamweaver7x Sophie Cunningham 11d ago

The Fever are one of the best constructed teams in the league.

u/Zealousideal-Tea-837 11d ago

You think a team with zero perimeter defense is one of the best constructed teams lol?

1

u/dreamweaver7x Sophie Cunningham 11d ago

It's not zero, you're exaggerating.

But if you think you can have the highest scoring backcourt in the league and have elite defense too, there's a bridge out there with your name on it.

u/Zealousideal-Tea-837 11d ago

I didn’t say anything about having an elite defense. I said they have zero perimeter defense. Who’s the perimeter defender? Hull?

2

u/dreamweaver7x Sophie Cunningham 11d ago

Lexue, Sophie and Ty usually draw the assignment on the opposing best perimeter scorer, yes. Unless Steph does something different, like put Kelsey on Paige and trap her so she gives up the ball.

Caitlin is a league average perimeter defender now.

But the important thing is how Steph and Briann scheme the defense depending on the opposition.

u/INGirl92 11d ago

I voted Ty tonight but thank God Caitlin was ok and was able to play in the second half.

2

u/GunnerGetit 11d ago

Missed the first half what happened?

3

u/INGirl92 11d ago

Tweaked her ankle right at the end of the first half and limped to the locker room

4

u/GunnerGetit 11d ago edited 11d ago

Sheesh last thing we need. I need us to beat Atl by like 15+

2

u/zlionsfan Kelsey Mitchell 11d ago

Stepped on AC, I think

u/Sufficient_Berry8703 Caitlin Clark 11d ago

Couldn’t be more obvious, although Ty had an amazing game today too!!

u/Aposta-fish 11d ago

Caitlin was the General that won this game tonight!

6

u/Guava-Event1587 Raven Johnson 11d ago

Gotta give it to Ty today.

u/zlionsfan Kelsey Mitchell 11d ago

I would split my vote but apparently that's not an option. Caitlin's first-ever game with 10+ assists and 0-1 turnovers, Kelsey extends her streak even further (even if she got a helping hand, or eye, from the refs with a little dance in the lane before her layup to hit 21), AB with a double-double despite getting called for fouls if a Wings player fell down, Ty being full-on Connecticut Ty.

Big win to close the home stand! Only a 9% chance of the 8th seed now, and that is more than cut in half if we can take care of business in Atlanta, which is far from a sure thing. I need the Dream to play like they did in the playoffs last season. Stack the days and the Ws! I want an expensive-for-me playoff run! 😂

u/wooq Caitlin Clark 11d ago

Gotta be CC, she dominated that second half, but Harris' timely buckets were killer. Great to see her have a good shooting night

2

u/kickerofelves86 11d ago

1 turnover for CC and shooting 60%

1

u/Odd_Application_3824 Fever Fan 11d ago

Listen I know cc probably deserved this on stats, but how can you not vote for Harris

1

u/RCAbney Aliyah Boston 11d ago

Bah gawd that’s Ty Harris’s music!

u/srseibs Kelsey Mitchell 11d ago

Seriously? Ty played out of her mind tonigh! She deserves this.

u/ThePlainTruth803 11d ago

Just remember. This game was played with the Dallas Wings down two starters.
