Caitlin Clark makes WNBA history as Indiana Fever beat Seattle Storm
Caitlin Clark made history on Friday night as the first player in WNBA history to record 45 points and 10 assists in a single game. Her performance secured a narrow 110-107 victory for the Indiana Fever over the Seattle Storm in Indianapolis.
The 24-year-old guard achieved several career milestones during the matchup, including a career-high point total and 17 successful free throws out of 19 attempts. With the score tied in the final minute, her scoring efficiency proved decisive in breaking the deadlock. This performance marks her fifth double-double of the 2026 season.
Seattle's Awa Fam also set a record as the youngest player to hit four three-pointers in one quarter, while teammate Dominique Malonga contributed 28 points and 14 rebounds in the loss. Despite the high-scoring effort from Seattle, the Fever held firm in the closing seconds to finish the game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
This record-breaking night occurred amidst ongoing public discussions regarding the treatment of Clark by opposing teams. NBA commissioner Adam Silver recently commented on the situation, describing the focus on Clark as a shift toward broader cultural debates rather than sport itself. He emphasized his support for the player as she focuses on her professional development on the court.
Clark continues to be a central figure in the league as the season progresses. Her ability to visualize these high-output games remains a consistent part of her approach to competition.
