On a team filled with superstar talent like Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, it's easy to forget about Sophie Cunningham.
>The Indiana Fever veteran was quiet for the first 38 minutes of Saturday's win over the Connecticut Sun. Despite that, when the game was on the line and the Fever needed points, they turned to Cunningham. And she delivered spectacularly.
>Cunningham scored all 11 of her points in the game over the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. She turned the game from a two-point nail-biter to a comfortable ten-point victory. Three times, she found herself open from behind the arc. And three times, she knocked down the shot.
>Afterwards, fans were quick to praise Cunningham for her late-game heroics. Here are some of the best social media reactions to her scoring barrage.
