One game after she put up her season-high in points, Caitlin Clark nearly matched it.
Clark, the star rookie guard of the Indiana Fever, poured it on late to secure a 100-93, come-from-behind victory over the Dallas Wings. More importantly for the Fever, they are hitting their stride; Indiana has now won four in a row and has gone over .500, with a 17-16 record.
Clark finished with 28 points, though it was teammate Kelsey Mitchell who scored a career-high 36 points.
Clark had a quiet start to the game — by her standards, at least — scoring just five points through the first quarter-and-a-half of play. In fact, Clark was outshined in the first half by Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale, who drained five 3 pointers in the first quarter and had 24 points by intermission.
Still, Clark continued to imprint her mark on Indiana Fever history; when she scored her 595th point Sunday, Clark surpassed Tamika Catchings' franchise record for most points in a single season by a rookie.
And while Ogunbowale would tie a single-game WNBA record with nine 3s, it was Clark and the Fever who took over in the fourth quarter. Indiana outscored Dallas 30-19 in the frame and it was a pair of deep 3-pointers that Clark hit in the middle of the quarter that helped propel the Fever.
This performance comes one game after Clark scored 31 points in a victory over the Chicago Sky on Friday. The Fever scored 100 or more points in consecutive games for the first time in franchise history.
