Caitlin Clark added another moment to her WNBA highlight reel in Monday night's Fever vs Mystics showdown. The Indiana guard drained a three-pointer with 1.2 seconds left to beat Sonia Citron and Washington 78-76 on the road.
Indiana held a 17-point lead in the third quarter behind Clark's four-point play. But Washington chipped away in front of its home crowd. Then, with 4.3 seconds remaining, Citron sank two free throws to put the Mystics ahead 76-75.
That's when Indiana head coach Stephanie White called a timeout to set up one last look.

Sophie Cunningham subsequently threw a cross-court inbound pass toward Clark just as a Mystics defender lunged for the steal and missed. The Fever guard caught the ball near the logo, set her feet, and launched a high-arcing three that coasted in cleanly.
The buzzer-beater snapped a rough stretch for the Fever, moving Indiana to 6-5 on the season. It also marked a turning point for Clark, who's struggled from the floor after battling a nagging back injury.
Indiana will next face the Chicago Sky at home on Thursday night. Meanwhile, Sonia Citron and the Mystics look to regroup as they host the Toronto Tempo on Friday.
