Indiana Fever's head coach, Stephanie White, praised her team's depth following their victory over the Atlanta Dream. After a narrow 91-90 loss at home on Tuesday, the Fever secured an 81-76 win in the rematch. Caitlin Clark struggled, missing all five of her 3-point attempts, breaking her streak of games with at least one successful 3-pointer.

Clark's last game without a 3-pointer was on January 13, 2022, against Purdue during her sophomore year. Despite this setback, she managed to score 11 points and provide six assists. Natasha Howard led the team with 26 points, helping secure their first away win of the season.

White emphasized the importance of contributions from all players. "Everybody is engaged every time out," she said in a postgame address. "This is a display of the depth that we have." She highlighted how different players stepping up can lead to victories.

The Fever's current record stands at 2-1, placing them second in the Eastern Conference. Their next challenge will be against the New York Liberty. White believes that consistent contributions from both ends will keep them winning.

White's message to her players was clear: "If it’s not your night, someone else is going to step up." The coach stressed that teamwork and collective effort are crucial for success. The Fever aim to maintain their momentum as they continue their season.
