WNBA Makes Statement on Valkyries' Big Win Over Caitlin Clark, Fever originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite playing at home at Chase Center, the Golden State Valkyries entered Thursday's game against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever as heavy underdogs in this highly anticipated matchup.

Clark, who's averaging 19.9 points per game this season, was held without a 3-point field goal for only the second time in her career during a feisty defensive effort from Golden State. The Valkyries trapped her often and forced six turnovers from Clark, who seemed frustrated offensively compared to her comfort level at that end of the floor.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Valkyries put on a defensive masterclass against superstar Caitlin Clark. The expansion team held Clark to 11 points and forced the former Iowa standout into six turnovers as Golden State defeated the Indiana Fever 88-77 on Thursday in front of its sixth straight sellout crowd of 18,064.
