Caitlin Clark classily dribbled out the clock for a 24-second violation instead of stat padding

All class here.

Caitlin Clark could have gone for more than the 29 points and 10 dimes she dropped on Friday in the 98-89 win over the Phoenix Mercury. She was that good.

But with the shot clock ticking down and the Indiana Fever victory in the bag, Clark could have cooked the Mercury one more time for a 30-10 game, but she was all class there, simply dribbling out the clock and taking the turnover instead of showing up her opponent.

That’s the right move there, and one that WNBA fans noticed from the rookie, who made a veteran call. Here it is, with a bit of reaction:
