Caitlin Clark was alone with the ball, right in the front of the logo with the game on the line. As frustrating as this season has been at times for her and the Indiana Fever, this was Clark's comfort zone — and the shot hit nothing but net. Clark's 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining gave Indiana a 78-76 victory over the Washington Mystics on Monday night — and gave the 24-year-old star a signature moment following a rocky stretch at the start of her third season.

Caitlin Clark's 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds left gave the Indiana Fever a 78-76 victory over the Washington Mystics on Monday night. Washington rallied from a 17-point deficit and led by one after Sonia Citron's two free throws with 4.3 seconds remaining, but after a timeout, Clark caught a crosscourt pass and was all alone after Cotie McMahon went for the steal and missed. From just in front of the logo on the left wing, Clark's shot hit nothing but net.

In possibly the highlight moment of the young WNBA season so far, Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark knocked down a deep 3-point shot in the final seconds to beat the Washington Mystics 78-76 on Monday. Judging by teammate Sophie Cunningham’s lighthearted Instagram meme on the play in question, it appears this dramatic play was not executed exactly how their coach, Stephanie White, drew it up.
