"Caitlin Clark's game-winning 3-pointer against Washington raised an immediate question: How did a player known for her shooting get so open with the game on the line? “You got to do whatever you can until the final buzzer, and we just came up short one possession there," coach Sydney Johnson said after Monday's loss to Clark's Indiana Fever. Clark's shot with 1.2 seconds left came after Washington had erased a 17-point second-half deficit to go ahead by one.
