Fever Coach Stephanie White Assigns Blame After Loss Without Caitlin Clark

The Indiana Fever have been working toward postseason contention, looking to make an immediate impact with head coach Stephanie White. 

On Thursday, the Fever lost 85-75 to the Los Angeles Sparks, falling to 7-8 on the season. 

After the loss to the Sparks, where the Fever played without Caitlin Clark due to her suffering a groin injury, White spoke with the media.

White mentioned that with the Fever's lineup changes, it's been difficult to put teams away, even when Indiana has a commanding lead. 

Despite the Fever having a double-digit lead, they suffered a loss and White believes part of the issue lies on the coaches. 

White explained that the coaches have to be better at preparing the team. 

"I think that’s a challenge for our group is that when we do get up double digits we have to be able to put teams away," White said. "Being able to manage to manage the game offensively, being able to dig in and get stops defensively. Our scouting report protecting the paint and they scored 42 points in the paint. That’s not good enough. We got to be better as coaches at preparing them for that and we have to be better executing it."
