It can't be easy losing your first game of the WNBA season and then going into your postgame presser to answer questions about the star player who wreaked havoc against your team. But that's exactly what New York Liberty star Sabrina Ionescu did after Saturday's loss to the Indiana Fever, and she handled the moment with the utmost grace.
Ionescu finished with a team-high 34 points in the 102-88 loss, yet she and the rest of her Liberty teammates could only watch as Clark and the Fever ran away with the lead in the second half of the game. Clark, who flirted with a triple-double and tied her career high with seven three-pointers, proved unstoppable in her first game back from injury and made the Fever look like serious championship contenders.
