Caitlin Clark, Fever draw strong message from Lynx coach before Sunday’s game

Caitlin Clark’s huge following is a big reason why the Indiana Fever is most popular team in the WNBA today. She also draws a lot of attention outside of the court, along with her other well-known teammates. They will visit the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday, in what promises to be an exciting matchup between the top two scoring teams.

Clark and Co. have won seven of their last eight games, including five consecutive. They started the season slow by splitting their first 10 games but have since bounced back strong. The team entered the season as one of the title favorites and is now living up to expectations.

Minnesota, on the other hand, aims to make it 10 straight victories and further improve their league-leading 24-6 record. Sunday’s meeting marks their first this season, giving fans a chance to see Olivia Miles go head-to-head with Clark.

Lynx coach opens up on preparations for Caitlin Clark, Fever game

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve addressed the media on Saturday. A reporter asked her to share her thoughts on what the atmosphere would be like inside Target Center for the marquee matchup. She also talked about what she told her players to focus on.

“It’s something we actually talked about,” Reeve said. “We know it’s going to be a very energized crowd and not to get sort of distracted. We’ve been in some great crowds and some great games, and there’s always a little bit more, I think, extra in this in terms of some of the personalities, and we just want to make sure that we’re true to us and what we do and we’re locked into each other and we don’t get caught up in other stuff. ”
