Why Caitlin Clark’s Return Could Ignite Indiana’s Darkest Basketball Comeback Yet
Defensive Improvement
It’s easy to imagine the best version of the Fever as an offensive juggernaut behind Clark and Mitchell. But the team needed to tighten up defensively to make a real run in the postseason.
Last year, the Fever allowed the second-most points per game in the WNBA. This year, they’ve allowed the eighth-most points per game. They currently rank sixth in defensive TRACR.
It might be tempting to think the team is adopting a more defensive-minded approach without Clark. However, that hasn’t been the case.
