Caitlin Clark put the rest of the WNBA on notice as she returned to the Indiana Fever lineup with a vengeance and upended the New York Liberty’s undefeated streak on Saturday night.
Clark’s 32-point victory in the 102-88 win gave Indiana its fifth win of the season. Clark made seven 3-pointers, including three in a 38-second span that even shocked former Liberty star Rebecca Lobo.
The Basketball Hall of Famer talked about Clark’s performance and what she means to WNBA viewership as the league saw numbers dwindle a bit in her absence.
"It means a lot more people are paying attention once again," Lobo said Monday on ESPN’s "First Take," via Awful Announcing. "We know how much Caitlin drives ratings. We know how much Caitlin drives attention on the WNBA. For her to come back and do it in that way was just ridiculous.
"I’m sitting there at the end of the first quarter when she had that 38-second stretch where she drained deep three after deep three after deep three. I was just sitting there thinking, I’ve been around this league since 1997. I have never seen that in a WNBA game. Have we seen players go on runs? Of course, we have, but not like that, not where a couple of the 3-pointers are from 30-plus feet."
The Fever pointed out just how deep Clark’s range was.
Three of her 3-pointers came from beyond 30 feet. She hit the rest from at least 26 feet. The WNBA 3-point line is 22 feet away from the basket.

The three point shot already ruined the NBA, and now the WNBA. It’s a circus shot and has nothing to do with the basket-ball I used to watch.
Isn’t she the lady the claims she has white privilege and the public harassed her for it? Is there anything wrong to be white and feel privileged? Surely it is a beautiful feeling to be proud and white, no?
No Problem, buy both leagues and change the rules back.
Until then, Clark can own the three point shot.
Why is being white worse than being a ghettopotamus?
Everything about Griner looks to be a man: walk, physique, attitude, and broad shoulders. What is in her wallet?
She will however wax eloquent on the horrors of white privilege.
Simone Biles is the current big mouth with a Negro attitude, who replaced Chennedy Carter, Dijonai Carrington and Angel Reese, all of whom repeatedly fouled Clark.
No, that was Paige Bueckners.
She’s fantastic, but we need to Red Pill her. The “Black League” she plays in lost tens of millions per year, and now, because ONLY of her, it is making money and filling seats. She owes them nothing.
I suspect not much except a cue card on how to be polite and respectful to Russian Police and Prison Guards.
You are correct, however you’ll have to catch her before you can tell her about it.
Aliyah Boston is on that list!
Yes it’s a lot longer than I wrote, I listed only the recent offenders.
I really enjoy not watching anything related to the American hating racist NBA and WNBA.
AND every time the black girls get upset they claim her fans yelled out racist slurs.
Well, there’s Women’s Beach Volleyball.
Shooting three-pointers doesn’t impress me.
Threading a pass inside for an easy layup is much tougher to do.
Caitlin was a breath of fresh air in sports until she opined about white guilt. I stopped looking up the boxscores of her games after that.
She does that also. Look at her assists. Her turnovers are high because her teamates play at a lower level.
