Caitlin Clark’s Epic Reaction to Sophie Cunningham’s Clutch Three
Caitlin Clark may have been sidelined, but she was still the most animated person in the building during Tuesday night’s Commissioner’s Cup Final.
The Indiana Fever were without Clark due to a lingering groin injury, her third straight missed game. But that didn’t stop the team from stunning the Minnesota Lynx 74-59 to win their first-ever Cup title. And no moment summed up the energy of the night better than Clark’s wild reaction to a clutch three from Sophie Cunningham.
Cunningham Steps Up Big, and Clark Goes Off
Cunningham delivered a season-high 13 points, adding seven rebounds and a key assist off the bench. But it was her dagger from deep with just over four minutes to go that put the Fever up by 12. And effectively shut the door on Minnesota.
As the shot hit, Clark jumped up in excitement, high-fiving teammates as they returned to the bench after a Lynx timeout. Cameras caught her beaming and energized, celebrating as if she’d just hit the shot herself.
The viral moment quickly made rounds on social media. It was more than just a highlight; it was proof of how much Clark has bought into the team culture, even from the sideline.
A Team Win, Fueled by Chemistry
Even without their headliner, Indiana showed they’ve got depth and heart. And while Clark’s stats were absent from the box score, her presence on the sidelines proved just as impactful.
With Clark’s return on the horizon and the Fever riding high, fans have a lot to look forward to.
