The biggest rivalry in the WNBA delivered. Angel Reese<\/a> and the Atlanta Dream squad rolled into Indy and handed Caitlin Clark a brutal 108-101 reality check.<\/p>\n

If you took the over, go buy yourself a drink.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with the ATL Barbie.<\/p>\n

Reese looked cooked after picking up four quick fouls in the first half, spending way too much time riding the pine.<\/p>\n

But ultimately, Reese finished with an impressive<\/a> 21 points and 11 rebounds. With 23 seconds left, she bullied her way to a clutch and-one layup to seal the deal.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Clark looked flashy rocking<\/a> her brand-new signature Nike kicks, dropping 26 points and seven assists.<\/p>\n

The problem? Indiana treated the basketball like a live grenade down the stretch.<\/p>\n

The Fever coughed up 17 turnovers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Atlanta’s starting five was also a total buzzsaw. Every single starter scored 16 points or more points.<\/p>\n

Jordin Canada, Naz Hillmon, Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard joined Reese in the scoring parade, combining for a ridiculous 89 points.<\/p>\n

Good luck stopping that.<\/p>\n

However, Indiana did not go quietly into the night. Kelsey Mitchell poured in<\/a> 26 points and hit her 700th career three-pointer, sparking a wild fourth-quarter run to tie it late. Aliyah Boston tallied 23 points as well.<\/p>\n

But a brutal late-game Indy turnover led to an easy fast-break bucket that sucked the life right out of the arena.<\/p>\n

The Dream move to an impressive 10-4, while the Fever drop to 9-6.<\/p>\n

Clark can sell out arenas and look good in her own signature shoes, but if Indy cannot protect the rock, they won’t go far this year.<\/p>\n
