Statistics on Indiana Fever and Dallas Wings

play

One game after setting her season-high point total, Caitlin Clark nearly matched it.

Clark, the Indiana Fever’s star rookie guard, went one better, coming back from a deficit in a 100-93 win over the Dallas Wings. More importantly for the Fever, they’re now hitting their stride; Indiana has now won four games in a row and is above .500 with a record of 17-16.

Clark finished with 28 points, but it was his teammate Kelsey Mitchell who set a new career high with 36 points.

Clark had a quiet start to the game — at least by her standards — scoring just five points in the first quarter and a half of play. In fact, Clark was outshone in the first half by Wings guard Arike Ogunbowale, who sank five 3-pointers in the first quarter and had 24 points by halftime.

Still, Clark continued to make her mark on Indiana Fever history: When she scored her 595th point on Sunday, Clark surpassed Tamika Catchings’ franchise record for most points by a rookie in a single season.

And while Ogunbowale tied a WNBA single-game record with nine three-pointers, Clark and the Fever took the lead in the fourth quarter. Indiana outscored Dallas 30-19 in that period, and it was two deep three-pointers made by Clark midway through the quarter that gave the Fever a boost.

This performance comes one game after Clark scored 31 points in a win over the Chicago Sky on Friday. The Fever scored 100 or more points in back-to-back games for the first time in franchise history.
