Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark sparkled in Friday's 95-86 win over the Phoenix Mercury at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Clark cashed in on her rich vein of form and delivered another game-winning double-double for her team.

The former Iowa superstar was switched on right from the tip-off and ripped Phoenix's defense apart with impeccable passes, creating numerous scoring opportunities for her teammates. The 22-year-old dished out seven assists in the first quarter alone.

It was an ominous sign for the Mercury as Caitlin Clark looked like a woman on a mission. The Fever rookie was initially focused on setting her teammates up, but later began to add to the Fever's score by making shots herself.

Clark registered a stat line of 20 points, 13 assists and six rebounds in 38:26 minutes. She sat for just 1:34 minutes.

The Fever rookie shot 8-of-16 from the field, including 2-of-7 from the 3-point range. She made both her free throws on the night.

The 22-year-old also had one steal and two blocks, but her turnover problem continued as she gave up possession six times.

Caitlin Clark continues to make history

Caitlin Clark is slowly turning into a double-double machine. On Friday, the Fever rookie recorded her fifth consecutive game with a double-double. Clark also scripted multiple records during her outing against the Mercury.

The Indiana Fever rookie became the first player in franchise history to record seven assists in a quarter. Clark also became the first WNBA player to record a stat line of 15+ points and 13+ assists in three consecutive games.

Furthermore, the rising superstar is the only player in history with 15+ points, 10+ assists, and 2+ blocks in consecutive games.

With her sizzling performances, Caitlin Clark is making a strong case for the Rookie of the Year award. Most importantly, her performances are translating into wins for the Indiana Fever as the franchise is making a push to secure a playoff berth after a slow start to the season.

Clark will be in action once again when the Indiana Fever square off against the Minnesota Lynx on Sunday.
