Fever Coach Christie Sides Addresses Caitlin Clark, Teammates’ Confidence Before New York Liberty Game

The Indiana Fever and the New York Liberty are facing off for the fourth time during this WNBA season on Saturday.

To this point, the Liberty have dominated over Caitlin Clark and company. They’ve won all three previous games this season by scores of 102-66, 91-80, and 104-68, respectively.

Unless the Fever make a miraculous playoff run in the season’s second half, Saturday’s showdown will mark the final time these two teams square off in 2024.

And prior to the game, Fever coach Christie Sides discussed whether she believes her team has what it takes to take down the Liberty.

“I have all the confidence in the world in my team. I’ve got a lot of talent in that room. These guys have been through some pretty tough adversity and they’ve handled it,” Sides said, per Matthew Byrne.

“I have all the confidence in the world that they can go out and beat New York, [Las] Vegas, Phoenix,” Sides continued. “So just keep finding ways to get better… that’s what you do with a young and inexperienced team. Just find ways to get them confidence.”

Let’s see whether Sides’ confidence will amount to a win against the Liberty on Saturday.
