CAITLIN CLARK FOR THE LEAD WITH 1.2 SECONDS LEFT‼️ https://t.co/DDdmadk2lp

What happened: Caitlin Clark drained a 31-foot three-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining to secure a 78-76 victory for the Indiana Fever over the Washington Mystics. The shot followed a chaotic final minute where Washington had taken a one-point lead on free throws with 4.3 seconds on the clock.

Why it matters: The win moves Indiana to a 6-5 record and continues their surge in the 2026 Commissioner's Cup standings. Clark's ability to recover from late missed free throws to hit a deep game-winner reinforces her status as the league's most dangerous late-game threat.

By the numbers: Caitlin Clark: 19 PTS, 10 early 1Q points, 19-footer with 1.2s left; Kelsey Mitchell: 15 PTS; Fever record: 6-5.

What to watch: The Fever look to maintain their momentum as they continue their road trip, while Washington seeks to bounce back from the heartbreaker.
