Clark had 32 points, nine assists and eight rebounds against the defending WNBA champions, helping head coach Stephanie White and the wobbly Fever get back to a .500 record (5-5).
Indiana center Aliyah Boston appeared to still be in a celebratory mood on Monday as she took to social media to post a video on TikTok with her teammate, Clark's backup at point guard, Sydney Colson .
White caught wind that they were making a video, and Clark had thoughts about what happened next.

"Yes this was Steph's idea," Boston wrote to her more than 200,000 TikTok followers.
Boston and Colson resorted to being backup dancers as the 47-year-old coach took center stage in the video, lip syncing to a viral TikTok sound .
Clark gave a statement of approval in the comments section, replying "Ate."
"Steph white - I was not familiar with your game but get it girl," wrote another popular comment.
"The coolest coach in the WNBA," said a fan.

Another added, "Yess coach! Love that y'all can have fun too."
From the first day White joined the Fever as a coach, she has had an understanding that Clark is bigger than basketball, forming a trustworthy relationship along that foundation.
"I think first and foremost, she does an outstanding job of managing it all," White told The Athletic before the season. "Like, she's incredibly humble. She understands the big picture. So she views it understanding her celebrity, No. 1. But No. 2, she's a Midwest kid, a Midwest person and she is who she is. She tries to live her life in an authentic way. But she's very much Taylor Swift 2.0."

On Monday, though, White was the one shaking it off.
The Fever return to action Tuesday night at home against the Connecticut Sun , the team White coached in 2024. The game begins at 7 p.m. ET and will be televised on NBA TV.
