UNCASVILLE, Conn. — As the clock ticked down on her rookie season, Caitlin Clark had one more 3-point heave in her to try to make an improbable comeback happen.
She pulled up from 27 feet, the Indiana Fever down six to the Connecticut Sun with 15 seconds left. The shot clanged off the back of the rim, bounced high in the air, hit the back iron and landed out of bounds.
That would be the last shot of her season, one that ended with an 87-81 loss to the Sun in Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs Wednesday night.
As the Sun celebrated their win, the Fever huddled briefly on the court. Clark was the first one into the tunnel, her long year of basketball over.
