Clark returned from a five-game injury absence to lead her team to a 102-88 home victory against the defending champions, the New York Liberty . She torched a previously undefeated Liberty side with a season-high 32 points on 11-of-20 shooting, along with seven three-pointers, eight rebounds, nine assists, a steal and two blocks.
This victory saw the Fever improve to 5-5 on the season, and this has the makings of what could very well be a season-defining win for Indiana.
Head coach Stephanie White, however, wants her team to keep their feet on the ground. She acknowledged her players' effort in their win against the Liberty, but she was also quick to send out a reminder about the tough road ahead.

"Emotionally, it's a relief, it's a lift," White said of Saturday's victory, via ESPN's Michael Voepel . "The biggest thing is this team is resilient.
"It hasn't been easy, and it's not going to be. Winning is hard. You've got to go through the ups and downs, the ebbs and flows."

White has been around the WNBA long enough to know the pitfalls of making too much out of one win, regardless of the magnitude of the same. The veteran shot-caller will make sure that her team does not fall into this trap.

White is confident, though, that Clark and Co. are the real deal and that they have what it takes to come together and work toward their common goal.
"This group, they stay together," White continued. "They draw strength from one another, I draw strength from them. Every single day we take one step forward together, we're building trust."
The Fever's resiliency and togetherness will be put to the test in the coming weeks. They get two days off before returning to action on Tuesday against the Connecticut Sun . That game marks the first of six contests over an 11-day span.
