Caitlin Clark Ties WNBA Record as Her Indiana Fever Trounce Angel Reese’s Atlanta Dream
Caitlin Clark led the Indiana Fever to an 83-71 win over the Atlanta Dream (featuring Angel Reese) and did so while setting a franchise/league milestone. Clark finished with 17 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists, and the victory kept the Fever on a strong stretch despite recent team tensions-after she was benched in an earlier loss to the Portland Fire and had a heated exchange with coach Stephanie White. Clark said things were calm before Thursday’s game, and afterward she publicly showed support for White with a chest bump.
The win also marked Clark as the fastest player in WNBA history to reach both 50 points and 50 assists in a single season. Kelsey Mitchell added 25 points for Indiana and Aliyah Boston scored 19. Reese contributed a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Though the Dream has a strong overall record, the article notes it ranks ninth in league offense, and Clark later said she had been feeling ill during or before the game but recovered and felt better afterward.
Caitlin Clark steered her Indiana Fever victory over Angel Reese and her Atlanta Dream Thursday night while smashing one of her own records in the process.
Since reaching the WNBA, Clark is now 5-1 over her college nemesis, according to Fox News.

AS the Fever upped its record to 5-4, the performance meant Clark became the fastest player in WNBA history to top 50 points and 50 assists in a season, breaking a record she set last season.
The win was a bright spot for a team that has had issues, peaking in Indian’s recent loss to the Portland Fire when head coach Stephanie White benched Clark and the two had a heated exchange.
Before Thursday’s game, Clark said all was calm in the eye of the storm.

“Personally, I’m doing great. I don’t really read that stuff. I know everybody can have an opinion and people make me aware. … But I’m not sitting on Twitter or social media reading those things,” Clark said.
She made a public show of support for White by giving the coach a chest bump as the Fever was on a roll.
Kelsey Mitchell scored 25 points for the Fever while Aliyah Boston scored 19 points.

Reese shout four of nine from the field, but continued to rack up double-doubles by grabbing 10 rebounds to go with her 11 points.
The Dream, which added Reese in the off-season, has the second-best record in the WNBA, , according to Bleacher Report.
However, despite adding Reese, the Dream is ninth in the league in offense.
After the victory, Clark told reporters she had not been feeling well, according to ESPN.
“I haven’t puked that much in a really long time,” Clark said.
“But then I felt fine. I felt light. So, I was running around feeling good in the second half, but [I] feel OK. Obviously, I’m losing my voice a little bit. But I’ll be good,” she said.
