"That just shows you what it's going to be like for us all season. It's going to help us," added Clark, who also scored 21 points in her other preseason appearance against Dallas on May 3.
"This is what you've worked for and dreamed of. Now you get to put your jersey on for the first real time and go out there and play."But you only play your first WNBA game once. I think I just want to enjoy it. It's gonna be competitive. They're really good, so you've gotta prep the right way, too. More than anything, we're ready for the challenge."
"I think the anticipation and all the enthusiasm going into the season has really been great for the women’s game and is long overdue," Connecticut Sun general manager Darius Taylor said.
