Caitlin Clark Makes WNBA History in Just First Half of Aces-Fever Playoff Game

Caitlin Clark made history in just the first half of the Fever's Game 2 against the Las Vegas Aces in the WNBA Playoffs.

In the first half of the Las Vegas Aces' 48-43 victory over the Indiana Fever, Caitlin Clark set a monumental record as the first WNBA player to score and assist for a double-double in a game's first half. Clark's performance was electrifying, propelling her team to a 48-43 halftime lead. Clark's contributions were instrumental in the Fever's turnaround, covering all aspects of the game with a stellar 14 points and 11 assists.

The young star's dominance was a stark contrast to her team's sloppy performance in the first game of the series, where they were labeled an "F" by Clark herself. Clark, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft, has been making waves in the league, recently earning the AP's Comeback Player of the Year award despite battling injuries during her sophomore season.

With multiple seasons ahead of her, Clark is on track for a legendary WNBA career, following a stellar start to her third season.
