Caitlin Clark and Breanna Stewart share priceless moment after Fever star's logo 3-pointer

Caitlin Clark made sure she let her return known and broke the New York Liberty's back with her stellar performance. From a scorer in the first half to being the facilitator in the second, Clark impacted the game from every angle.

However, the biggest highlight of the game came in the second quarter. With over five minutes remaining in the quarter, Clark had the ball and was being defended by the great Breanna Stewart. As if she knew the symbolism of the moment, Clark fired a logo step-back 3-pointer over Stewart.

While they were running back to the other end, Caitlin Clark was so hyped up that she kept poking Stewart excited like a little kid. Stewart also couldn't control and burst out with a big laugh watching Clark hilariously let her know.
