Atlanta won 91-90 at Indiana on Tuesday night.
Clark missed each of her five 3-pointers. That ended a streak of
140 games, including the WNBA regular season and playoffs and
the bulk of her college career at Iowa, with at least one 3. The
last time Clark was held without a 3 was Jan. 13, 2022, when she
went 0 for 6 against Purdue during her sophomore season.
Clark and teammate Aliyah Boston each went to the bench with
four fouls early in the third quarter. Clark finished with 11
points with six assists.
Kelsey Mitchell's 3-pointer gave Indiana a 76-75 lead. Clark
found Boston for a layup, only her second field goal, that
extended the lead to 79-76.
Rhyne Howard led Atlanta with 24 points.
Clark said before the game she was enjoying the NBA Indiana
Pacers' playoff run. She said she took video of herself at she
reacted to Tyrese Haliburton’s jumper that sent Game 1 of the
Pacers' Eastern Conference finals against the New York Knicks
into overtime before Indiana took the 138-135 win on Wednesday
night.
Sophie Cunningham scored nine points in her debut for Indiana
after missing the first two games with a right ankle sprain.
Coach Stephanie White said Cunningham was cleared to play with
no restriction on her minutes.
The Dream announced guard Jordin Canada, out with a right knee
injury, will resume basketball activities “in the coming weeks.”
The Dream moved the game to State Farm Arena, home to the NBA’s
Atlanta Hawks, and said shortly before tipoff that the
16,888-seat venue was sold out. The Dream’s normal home, Gateway
Center Arena, holds only 3,500.
