At the end of 40 minutes, Clark and the Fever secured a 71-70 win thrillingly, gaining their second victory of the season and their first at home.

Clark tallied 11 points, eight rebounds, and six assists to help the Fever.

On the other hand, Reese clocked in eight points and 13 rebounds in Chicago’s losing effort.

The game was closely contested as both teams played the thorns on each other’s sides throughout regulation. The Fever led most of the final period while the Sky remained within five points of the hosts.

Just as Indiana appeared to have the cushion to cruise to the win, the Windy City’s team began climbing back up in the last two minutes.

Caitlin Clark is one of the biggest superstars in American sports.

With that popularity comes a lot of great positives for the WNBA’s No. 1 overall pick — but it also comes with some serious negatives.

Clark is constantly hounded by fans and media, making it hard to live the normal life she once knew.

“Honestly, I feel like I talk to the media more than I get to talk to my own family … which is really kind of sad, in a way,” Clark said during a press conference earlier this week. “It’s a lot for somebody that’s 22 years old. It can be tough at times.”

ANGEL REESE’S MOM HAS BLUNT MESSAGE FOR EVERYONE ABOUT CAITLIN CLARK

Angel Reese took some heat on social media this weekend, when she appeared to take a shot at fellow WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark.

The Chicago Sky forward appeared to call out Clark and the Indiana Fever following one of her regular season games. Reese later deleted the message.

“And that’s on getting a WIN in a packed area not just ’cause of one player on our charter flight,” she wrote on social media, before deleting the message.

Many believed that Reese was taking a shot at Clark, who has gotten a ton of attention despite the Indiana Fever’s difficult start to the season. But Reese’s mom says that’s not the case.

“She was not attacking CC but bc you & the rest of those ‘children of the corn’ folks thought she was & once again sending her racist & vile comments she did.

Her comment was directed towards the media but of course you’re about clicks,” Angel Reese the mom wrote on her social media.

Reese, the WNBA player, believes that there are many people who deserve credit for the league’s growth.

“It’s not just one person, I think people don’t realize that (because) the narrative out there is that just one person changing the game,” she said Thursday.

“It’s a lot of us — me, Kamilla (Cardoso ), there’s Cameron (Brink), Rickea (Jackson). There’s so many great players and it’s been long overdue and just being able to see that our impact has been able to change the game.
