After being unanimously named the AP Rookie of the Year and receiving votes in the MVP voting, Caitlin Clark has now scored her first career playoff points.
During Game 1 of the first-round series between the Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun on Sunday, Clark made a tough reverse layup towards the end of the first quarter, marking her first postseason basket.
This moment was reminiscent of Clark’s first points in the regular season, which also came from a layup while driving from the right side.
