“She’s SO HAPPY. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS GOOD WINNNNNNNNNN LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO amazing job everyone yall are incredible,” one user commented.

“couldn’t have this energy for a game winner lol,” a reaction read.

“So proud of them,” one fan wrote.

“She’s so thrilled that they won again without CC ,” posted another.

“A win without CC is a win for SW,” one comment read.

“that’s because her favored player put up some career points … while she continues to be overly protective of cc … it’s ok for kelsey to do her thing every game but not the same rules apply to caitlin …” another fan said.

Thursday’s game marked the second of a back-to-back set. The Fever chose to rest Clark due to a lingering back injury. Kelsey Mitchell led the team with a game-high 29 points and eight rebounds. She also converted a clutch layup with 10.1 seconds remaining.

Next up for White and Indiana is a matchup against the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday. They will then return home and prepare for a four-game homestand.
