Caitlin Clark is being patient as the Fever figure out their chemistry.

After a 88-81 win over the Mystics at home, the Fever own a three-game win streak.

Clark, who finished with 18 points and a career-high 12 rebounds, shut down negative narratives about her team and explained how the Fever plan to build off of their momentum.

She’s averaging 16 points, eight rebounds and seven assists during this win streak, and 17.6 points spanning her last five games.

“I think everybody just loves instant satisfaction in our world,” said Clark, who also recorded six assists and four steals. “No one came in here and said we were going to be WNBA Champions from day 1 in our locker room. That was never our goal. Our goal was to get back to the playoffs and we’re fighting for that every single night.
