Clark’s Historic 45-Point Night Fuels Fever Victory Amid Controversy
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark erupted for 45 points, 10 assists and 4 steals to beat the Seattle Storm 110-107, becoming the first WNBA player with 40+ points and 10+ assists in a game and the 10th with a 45-point effort. The performance occurred amid weeks of controversy over her treatment after a throat-punch incident and ongoing officiating debates. Clark played through a back-injury-related minutes restriction, refused to leave late, and Indiana moved into a share of first in the Eastern Conference ahead of a matchup with the New York Liberty.
