NEW YORK (AP) — Caitlin Clark had the best game of her young professional career. It still wasn’t enough for the Indiana Fever to come away with their first victory of the season.
Breanna Stewart scored 24 points to lead a balanced New York offense as the Liberty beat Clark and the Fever 91-80 on Saturday in front of a sellout crowd of 17,735 at the Barclays Center.
She finished with 22 points — her best total in the three games — to go with eight assists and six rebounds. She also had eight turnovers.
“I thought I came out and just played harder and I think that’s really just my biggest focus going forward,” Clark said. “Just come out and compete and play hard. Our whole group did that.”
With Clark playing in New York for the first time and the Liberty having their home opener, the game produced more than $2 million in ticket revenue, which is a WNBA record, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to talk about the team’s revenue.
