She recorded 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, achieving her second career triple-double as the Indiana Fever, who are headed to the playoffs, defeated the Los Angeles Sparks 93-86 on Wednesday night. Clark sank her second three-pointer of the game and reached her milestone of 100 during the third quarter; she later added two more to finish with a total of 102 while shooting four out of ten from beyond the arc. As the top overall draft pick, she is also recognized as the first rookie to make 100 three-pointers in a season. Additionally, she became both the first rookie and fifth player in WNBA history to record multiple triple-doubles within a single season, joining Alyssa Thomas, Courtney Williams, Sabrina Ionescu, and Candace Parker. Aliyah Boston contributed significantly with 24 points and 14 rebounds for Indiana. The Fever secured their playoff position earlier that week when Atlanta and Chicago lost their games. They have now won five consecutive matches for the first time since 2015 and hold an impressive home record of ten wins against one loss since June 1st. With just over sixteen seconds remaining in the game, Clark made two free throws that extended their lead to seven points before grabbing a rebound after Kia Nurse missed a three-pointer at the other end\u2014this rebound completed her triple-double.<\/p>\n<p>In a courtside interview following this achievement, Clark acknowledged being aware that she was just one rebound away from completing her triple-double during that final possession: \u201cOf course I knew.\u201d She also made an important defensive play by intercepting a pass in traffic which led to Boston scoring on a layup for a crucial lead at 91-84 with only twenty-five seconds left on the clock. Kelsey Mitchell added another eighteen points for Indiana but fell short of reaching twenty points for an eighth consecutive game by just two points; NaLyssa Smith contributed thirteen points as well. For Los Angeles, Odyssey Sims led with twenty points while Dearica Hamby and Rae Burrell each scored sixteen; Azura Stevens had thirteen points along with eleven rebounds.
