Caitlin Clark is making the WNBA record book move at a dizzying pace. The Indiana Fever superstar erupted for a 34-point, 12-assist double-double Friday, leading Indiana to a 111-91 win over the Connecticut Sun at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Indy, Indiana witnessed a WNBA record-breaking night as Indiana Fever's superstar, Caitlin Clark, delivered a jaw-dropping 34-point, 12-assist double-double in Friday's game against the Connecticut Sun at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. This stellar performance pushed Indiana to a thrilling 111-91 victory, adding another legendary chapter to Clark's already illustrious career in the league.
The Sun made a strong opening with a 28-19 lead after the first quarter, but Clark's relentless scoring spree turned the tide, shooting an impressive 12-of-19 from the field and 6-of-12 from three-point range. Her scoring surge peaked in the fourth quarter, scoring 13 points as Indiana secured a deserved win. This marks the first time in WNBA history that a player has recorded consecutive games with at least 30 points and 10 assists.
Clark had already broken the mark with 37 points and 10 assists against the Chicago Sky just three days earlier. Fans and sports pundits alike hailed Clark's performance, with one fan proclaiming, "She's not even 30% developed, this is an alien." Veteran commentator Skip Bayless went even further, declaring her the "best player in the WNBA."
Clark's teammates, Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston, also shone, contributing 34 points and 24 consecutive games with at least 20 points, respectively. The Fever will now head into a three-week break for the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup, returning on September 18 for a game against the Toronto Tempo.
