The Dallas Wings defeated the Indiana Fever, 107-104. Credit: Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>Caitlin Clark and the Fever are on a two-game losing skid<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clark and the Indiana Fever appeared to be turning their fortunes around by winning four straight games. However, they were given a harsh reality check by Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The teams met in a home-and-away set on Thursday and Saturday. Atlanta won both, handing Indiana a losing streak. Clark and Co. are now 9-7 for the season and need to get back on track the soonest. They split the results of their first 10 games and are still struggling with consistency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Fever\u2019s upcoming three-game homestand will be huge, as it gives them a better chance of stringing wins together. It starts on Monday versus the Phoenix Mercury, followed by a rematch two days later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Caitlin Clark\u2019s first signature shoe has been a much talked about topic since it was first reported.
