Caitlin Clark and the Fever are a playoff team and hungry for more
Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever clinched a playoff berth without playing
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Fever coach Christie Sides slept through her team's historic playoff-clinching moment Tuesday night. Rookie guard Caitlin Clark watched the decisive game, then went to bed.
For the WNBA's top-drawing team, the end to a seven-year playoff drought on a night it didn't play seemed a little, well, unceremonious.
On Wednesday morning, the Fever's world changed. The team that endured seven straight losing seasons, had won only 30 games over the previous four years and started this season 1-8 was the toast of Indianapolis.
“I usually go to bed by 9:30, 10 o'clock every night, but I did set my alarm for midnight to wake up and I actually just turned it off. Didn't even look,” Sides said. “So this morning, I woke up to some really awesome text messages.”
