The Fever had a chance to enter the month-long break on a three-game win streak with a victory Wednesday against the worst team in the league, but the young team failed to capitalize.

Trailing 97-93 with less than 45 seconds remaining in the contest, Clark broke the press and drove the ball to the 3-point line, but with her eyes looking ahead, Dallas’ Odyssey Sims poked the ball away from behind.

“It’s a fine line of they were up pressuring me, so I kind of got behind them and was able to attack and then I tried to pull it out and then kind of lost my handle while being poked from behind,” Clark said of the play. “That one definitely killed. … That one’s really costly, you can’t have it.”

Even in the loss, Clark dazzled with her 19 assists to go along with 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting.

She enters the break averaging 17.1 points, 8.2 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game.

“I just try to set my teammates up for success. I think at times I can almost overpass,” Clark said. “There probably could have been a few times where instead of passing that leads to a turnover that I may have, I can probably shoot the ball. Especially with [Aliyah Boston]. I’m just looking to set her up so much. My eyes are almost always on our post players.”
