Clark finished with just 10 points on 3-of-8 shooting and had a plus/minus of -30 in the loss to the 10-1 Sun. Fever coach Christie Sides tore into her team after the loss, ripping their effort in a game that they trailed by 28 points at one point.. "I felt like we were just trying to ask them to keep playing hard, play hard. You can't start there. You can't play in this league if you have to coach effort. It's just too hard.""This is a team you can't come out and be lackadaisical against; they're just that good,". "They're going to punch you in the mouth.
