Christie Sides: Caitlin Clark's Historic Night Propels Indiana Fever to Victory
Christie Sides: Caitlin Clark's Record-Breaking Performance
Caitlin Clark has made WNBA history once again, setting a record for the most three-pointers made by a rookie in a season during the Indiana Fever’s 84-80 win against the Connecticut Sun. Clark drained her 86th triple of the season in the first quarter to eclipse the previous record of 85 set by the Atlanta Dream’s Rhyne Howard in 2022. She added two more from deep later in the game to bring her season total to 88.
Key Contributions from Indiana Starters
- Kelsey Mitchell: Led the team with 23 points, averaging 25.6 points per game since the league's return.
- Lexie Hull: Claimed victory for Indiana with clutch free throws, scoring 17 points.
- Team Chemistry: Coaches and players note the improving chemistry among the young lineup.
The Fever snapped an 11-game losing streak against the Sun, previously losing all three games against them this season since July 2021. All five Indiana starters scored in double figures. The game was tight, with both teams unable to establish a significant lead. The Fever's win brings them to a 15-16 record, continuing their push for the postseason.
