Caitlin Clark delivered one of the most remarkable performances in WNBA history, helping the Indiana Fever secure a dramatic victory over the Seattle Storm while setting a new league milestone. Following the game, Fever head coach Stephanie White praised Clark’s record-breaking night, calling it a performance unlike anything the league has seen before.
Caitlin Clark Sets Historic WNBA Record
Clark etched her name into the WNBA record books by becoming the first player ever to record at least 40 points and 10 assists in a single game.
Speaking after Indiana’s 110-107 win, White said Clark’s combination of scoring, playmaking, and energy stood out from the opening minutes. She also noted that Clark appeared to be moving more freely after previously dealing with a lingering back issue.
“It’s incredible,” White said. “It’s special. She does things that we haven’t seen. She had a lot of bounce early. You could tell she was feeling better, she was feeling good. And in the moment, sometimes it’s surreal to see.”
Stephanie White Reacts to Clark’s Box Score
White admitted she was stunned when she reviewed Clark’s final statistics after the game.
“I look at the stat sheet, and I’m looking at different numbers,” White said. “I look at the stat sheet at the end of the game, and it’s like, ‘Holy [expletive], 45 (points) and 10 (assists). I mean, just incredible. Just (an) absolutely incredible performance.”
Clark finished with 45 points, 10 assists, two rebounds, four steals, two blocks, and six made three-pointers, leading Indiana to its fifth victory in the last seven games.
Fever Continue Strong Midseason Push
The victory improved the Fever’s record to 15-10 as the team continues to strengthen its position during the WNBA regular season.
Clark received key contributions from her teammates, including Kelsey Mitchell, who added 30 points, while Monique Billings contributed 16 points and five rebounds.
On the opposite side, Seattle received balanced scoring from its starting lineup, with every starter reaching double figures. Dominique Malonga led the Storm with 28 points and 14 rebounds but was unable to prevent the narrow defeat.
What’s Next for Indiana and Seattle?
Indiana returns home on Saturday to host the New York Liberty in another key regular-season matchup. Seattle will have two days to regroup before taking on the Minnesota Lynx at Climate Pledge Arena.
Clark’s historic outing not only powered another important victory for the Fever but also added another milestone to a season that continues to showcase her impact as one of the WNBA’s brightest stars.
