Caitlin Clark, Lexie Hull and Sophie Cunningham could already be in the running as the WNBA's funniest trio. The Fever players have struck an excellent bond ahead of the new season. Clark and Hull have been teammates for a year, while Cunningham joined them via a trade from the Mercury.

However, it seemingly hasn't taken long for Clark and Hull to accept and make Cunningham feel at home. Their chemistry was on display during Sunday's game between the Fever and the Brazilian Women's National Team at the Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Clark's old stomping grounds as an Iowa player.

Amid her anticipated return, Clark set the crowd abuzz with a spectacular 3 from beyond the "22" logo on the court, the spot from where she broke the NCAA's all-time scoring record. After the crowd's incredible yet loud reaction, Clark asked Hull and Cunningham for their thoughts.

"Did it get loud in here?" Clark said.

The Fever superstar seemingly hoped for a straightforward positive answer, but Hull and Cunningham played around. Cunningham denied it, saying:

"When you scored? No."

Meanwhile, Lexie Hull suggested that "no one cared," while Sophie Cunningham added that Caitlin Clark should "do better."

She went 3-for-11 from the floor but was 6 of 6 from the free throw line while recording a team-high +/- +18. Hull's efficiency was much better in Sunday's game against Brazil. In just 10 minutes, she scored nine points, going 3-for-6, including 3-for-3 from the 3-point line.
