>The Fever began the playoffs with a 102-85 loss this past Sunday, meaning they had to pick up a win on Tuesday or they were out.

>When all was said and done, Indiana managed to secure a 99-89 win, and coach Stephanie White has now predicted Caitlin Clark will ‘take it to another level when we go to game three’.

Caitlin Clark predicted to go to another level in game three vs Las Vegas AcesSpeaking to the media after game two of their series, White had high praise for Clark, including labelling her ‘terrific’ and saying ‘she was the catalyst’.

>White added that she thinks Caitlin will go to another level in the third and final game between the Fever and the Aces.

>She said: “Yeah, I mean, she was huge. You know, I thought her energy from start to finish. I mean, a double-double in the first half, pretty incredible.

>“The way that she moved the ball and attacked from multiple positions. I mean, you know, you always expect her to be able to make shots and to facilitate.

>“But I thought how she managed the game was really good, and her defensive energy, I thought, was terrific, and it’s what we need from her, you know, night in and night out, and she was the catalyst for us here tonight, and I think she’s going to just take it to another level when we go to game three.”

Game three is set to take place on Thursday evening at the Michelob ULTRA Arena.

>Whoever wins that match will then play the winner of the first-round meeting between the Golden State Valkyries and the Dallas Wings.
