Tyler Marsh’s first game as head coach of the Chicago Sky was one of the most difficult assignments in the WNBA: a road game against the Indiana Fever.
A sellout crowd of 17,274 fans packed Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday for the first of five matchups between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese during the 2025 season.
The crowd watched the two 2024 WNBA All-Stars go at it several times over the course of the 93-58 Fever win. Clark was assessed a flagrant foul for a hard foul on the Sky star as the game got out of hand in the second half. She described the foul as a “basketball play.”
Clark controlled the flow of the game, recording the third triple-double of her WNBA career with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Reese led the Sky with 12 points and 17 rebounds.
Even though he knew it was crucial to Chicago’s success, Marsh could not find a way to slow down Clark, the 23-year-old superstar.
When asked after the blowout loss what the Sky could have done better to defend Clark, the first-year head coach responded, “everything.”
“It’s one of those things where when she can get it going scoring-wise and facilitating, she’s tough to stop,” he admitted in the press conference.
While there is no way to fully stop Clark — especially with the improved supporting cast Indiana put around her in the offseason — Marsh did his best to provide the ideal blueprint for at least slowing down the 2024 Rookie of the Year in his postgame statement.
“It’s never a one-person effort when it comes to a player like her,” he said. “It’s a group effort. It’s a team effort, and you don’t just guard her with one person. You guard her with all five.”
