Caitlin Clark Breaks WNBA Record, Sets Historic Stats in Fever Victory

Caitlin Clark scored her first 3-pointer in the first quarter of the Indiana Fever’s 84-80 win over Connecticut Sun on Wednesday, setting another record.

She is the first WNBA player to have at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists in six consecutive WNBA games, according to ESPN. It was her 10th straight game with at least 15 points and five rebounds, putting her in the elite club with Diana Taurasi as players to have done so.

“I think it just speaks to the way we attack,” Clark said. “Just fast, up-tempo. I feel like I’m definitely able to shoot it a little bit better.”

Clark’s teammate Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever with 23 points, four rebounds and three assists. It was her fifth straight game with 20 or more points.

“I think the best part is our chemistry is getting better and better,” Mitchell told NBA TV after the game. “I appreciate what Caitlin brings to the table because not only does she have the speed and the space, but she can shoot the lights out and you just have to be ready when your number is called with someone like that.”

The Sun, one of the best teams in the WNBA, fell to 22-8 on the season.
