Caitlin Clark smiles as Indiana Fever defeat Chicago Sky in overtime

Indiana Fever secured a 95-91 overtime victory over the Chicago Sky on Sunday night after Angel Reese missed a putback that could have given the Sky a win in regulation. With the score tied at 81 and three seconds remaining, Reese grabbed a rebound and attempted a layup, but the ball failed to go over the rim. Naz Hillmon’s subsequent layup attempt was blocked by Aliyah Boston, and Caitlin Clark, who finished with 26 points and nine assists, made two free throws in the final seconds to clinch the win, marking the Fever’s fourth straight victory and their 11th win in the last 14 games.

Reese recorded a double-double with 15 points, 14 rebounds and six assists, keeping the Sky within striking distance of a playoff seed. After the missed shot, teammates consoled Reese while an ESPN camera captured Clark smiling as she returned to the bench. The clip quickly spread on social media.

The Fever’s recent performance has continued despite ongoing discussions surrounding player comments on transgender participation in women’s sports and coaching support issues within the league.
