    Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are facing a win-or-go-home situation on Wednesday, September 25, as they take on the Connecticut Sun in Game 2 of the WNBA playoffs first round.

    In the Fever's 93-69 Game 1 loss, Clark did not look herself, recording just 11 points on 4-of-17 shooting, eight assists and four rebounds.

    Before Game 2, the Fever players participated in their normal half-court shot competition. The two finalists were Clark and backup Grace Berger. After Clark missed her final shot, Berger hit hers, winning the competition.

    The Fever posted the video on social media with the caption: "Grace Berger for the win."

    Clark was not happy with the Fever's caption, claiming she had won the contest in the comment section.

    "Excuse me what? I literally won," Clark replied.

    Throughout the season, Fever coach Christie Sides has had her team participate in team-bonding competitions, such as the half-court shot above, a scavenger hunt and a homerun derby. Clark has brought her competitive spirit to each of these contests, and the most recent was nothing different.

    The Game 1 loss to the Sun was by far the Fever's worst following the Olympic break, where they went 9-5 in the final 14 games and became one of the hottest teams in the league. If they want to bring the action back to Indianapolis for Game 3, Clark will have to deliver a much better performance.
