CAITLIN CLARK (KINDA)

Caitlin Clark spent her college career rewriting the record books. Months into her WNBA career, she’s done the same. Clark dished out a league-record 19 assists to go along with 24 points and six rebounds. It was the Wings, though, who pulled out a 101-93 win thanks to an 8-0 run to finish the game. Arike Ogunbowale (24 points) hit an incredible fadeaway jumper with under a minute left, and Clark turned it over on the ensuing possession to essentially seal the game.

Still, it was a passing masterpiece from Clark, Jack Maloney writes. Clark scored or assisted on 66 Fever points, also a WNBA record.

Clark now not only has the most assists in a game in league history, but Indiana’s record of most assists in a season at 213. And she’s 12 assists behind Ticha Penicheiro‘s WNBA record for assists in a rookie season.
