In a thrilling preseason encounter, the Dallas Wings edged out the Indiana Fever 77-76 at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Rookie sensation Caitlin Clark made a dazzling WNBA debut for the Wings, finishing with a team-high 21 points, five three-pointers, and three assists.
The Fever stayed competitive throughout the contest, led by Victoria Vivians' 19 points. However, it was Arike Ogunbowale who stole the show in the final minutes. With the game tied at 76, Ogunbowale sank a clutch step-back three-pointer to give the Wings the lead they would hold on to.
The Wings' victory marks a promising start to their preseason campaign. Clark, the highly touted draft pick, showcased her impressive skillset and emerged as a key player for Dallas.
The Indiana Fever, meanwhile, will look to regroup and improve their performance ahead of the regular season. With a talented roster featuring Vivians, recent All-Star Kelsey Mitchell, and second-year forward NaLyssa Smith, the Fever have the potential to be a force in the WNBA this season.
