For the second straight game, Clark was doing much more than scoring, garnering a few first-quarter assists that included a nice dish to Lexie Hull.

Clark's first 3-pointer of the evening was an impressive one, getting a high screen before launching from deep as the first quarter clock winded down.

Another strong pass from Clark was to Kelsey Mitchell, a fastbreak bounce-pass that led to an easy bucket.

Clark's second deep shot of the evening came on a stepback move.

By then, she had found her groove. The Fever guard buried her third triple of the first half to cut her team's deficit to four points.

Clark continued to produce as the game wore on, launching triples into the gleaming lagoon with increasing regularity.  

Fueled by Clark's antics, Indiana turned a 14-point deficit into a one-point advantage. Clark even found Aliyah Boston for a late bucket that kept things close:

However, Rhyne Howard's late free throws — and a timely Nia Coffey block and rebound — consigned Indiana to its first defeat of the season despite Clark's 27-point, 11-assist night.
