The Indiana Fever defeated the Seattle Storm 110-107 on Friday night behind a historic offensive showcase from Caitlin Clark. She poured in a franchise-record 45 points and dished out 10 assists to secure the victory. That stat line officially marks the first 40-point, 10-assist game in the history of the WNBA.
The performance shattered multiple ceilings. Clark reached 200 career three-pointers in just 74 games. She blew past the long-standing speed record of 81 games previously held by Katie Smith.
Seattle pushed Indiana to the absolute limit. Dominique Malonga led the Storm with 28 points and 14 rebounds, keeping the game knotted at 102 late in the fourth quarter. But Clark answered on both ends of the floor. With exactly 54.9 seconds remaining, she rejected a fast-break layup attempt by Seattle’s Flau’jae Johnson.
Then she transitioned to offense. Clark immediately hit a three-pointer to put the Fever ahead for good. It was the decisive sequence in a high-octane matchup, cementing her late-game heroics. Indiana relied heavily on their backcourt tandem to stay alive. Kelsey Mitchell matched her season high by dropping 30 points.
