Caitlin Clark got another one over Angel Reese this Sunday, leaving her 2-0 in their matchups since they both went pro and 3-0 since they faced off in the 2022/23 National Championship Game.
The Indiana Fever hosted the Chicago Sky for the second time this season, having snatched a marginal 71-70 win in their first go-around.
The victory was more convincing this Sunday as the Fever won 91-83.
At one point during the second half, Reese had a foul upgraded to a flagrant-1 violation after attempting a block on Clark but hitting her in the head instead.

“She went for ball. Oh well,” one fan said.
“Concussion evaluation clause for the WNBA coming in three, two, one!” another joked.
“@WNBA The flagrant bullying and malicious assault needs to STOP!” another wrote angrily.
“Bad angle. She was never closer than 12 inches from the ball. Just a thug close line to the head,” said a fourth. “Again. I’d suspend her for the rest of the season. If the @wnba won’t act, then I’d take out her ACL, MCL, and LCL.”
A bit much, that last one.
Caitlin Clark Got The Last Laugh
In any case, Caitlin Clark had the last laugh on the day as her team got that much-needed fifth win to go 5-10 for the season.
The loss leaves the Sky 4-9, though they got off to a better start than the Fever.
Angel Reese had her sixth-straight double-double, however, scoring 11 points and adding 13 rebounds.
Clark scored 23 points, along with eight rebounds and nine assists.
