It's been a learning curve for Caitlin Clark in the WNBA. The No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft has shown flashes of dominance on a subpar Indiana Fever team, but she also has been humbled every so often. 

Clark was served another reality check on Thursday night, but she adjusted her game to help the Fever to a victory. 

The rookie sensation struggled shooting in her first matchup of the season against the Atlanta Dream, securing her second-lowest points total in a single game so far. However, she made up for it with her playmaking, as Clark led all players in assists in the 91-84 win over Atlanta. 

Atlanta dropped to 5-6 on the season with the loss while the Fever improved to 4-10, picking up their second win at home. It marks the first of a three-game home stand for Indiana, with a matchup against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Saturday. 

How did Clark do in her first meeting with the Dream? Here are her stats and highlights from the matchup.

Caitlin Clark highlights vs. Atlanta Dream

Sometimes it's easy to just keep it simple — catch and shoot. Clark takes a pass and immediately chucks it up for a 3-point basket in the first quarter, no dribbles necessary. She successfully uses the off-ball screen to her advantage, finding open space for the pass and shot.

It's her first points of the contest. 

Look out below! Clark can do more than score — she can also help the game operations staff.

Right before the end of the first half, Clark secures her second bucket on a reverse layup. 

Clark was involved in some important plays down the stretch with Aliyah Boston, who went off for 27 points and 13 rebounds.
