Caitlin Clark took responsibility for a costly error during the Indiana Fever’s 99-88 loss to the Minnesota Lynx on Friday.
Despite an impressive performance with 25 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists, Clark pointed to a crucial mistake in the fourth quarter that she believes contributed to the Fever’s defeat.

Midway through the final quarter, with the Fever trailing by just one point, Clark committed a turnover that shifted the momentum in Minnesota’s favor.
Reflecting on the play, Clark admitted, “I made a really bad read” on a pass that ended up costing her team a chance to pull back into the game.
“Honestly, I thought we played really good in the fourth,” Clark said after the game, according to reporter Matthew Byrne on X. “My turnover in transition is what I felt like really kinda ended the momentum for us.”
The Lynx capitalized on the turnover, pulling away to secure the victory and snapping Indiana’s five-game winning streak. While the Fever have already clinched a playoff berth for the first time since 2016, the loss served as a setback as they prepare for the postseason.
Caitlin Clark’s latest record
In spite of the loss, Clark reached a personal milestone, setting the Fever‘s single-season 3-point record with 103 made shots. Her outstanding play this season keeps her as the frontrunner for WNBA Rookie of the Year, further solidifying her status as one of the league’s rising stars.
As Indiana moves forward, Clark’s accountability for the mistake reflects her leadership and desire to improve. With the playoffs on the horizon, the Fever will look to bounce back, with Clark continuing to play a key role in their postseason aspirations.
Clark‘s leadership and performance on the court have already propelled the team to new heights.
