Caitlin Clark broke two records against the New York Liberty
Caitlin Clark meant business and nothing but business on Saturday, as she went off on the New York Liberty, which looked stronger than the Fever on paper. The Fever weren't playing around and took the lead in the first quarter.
The visitors came back in the second and third quarter, but Clark was key to complete the 83-78 win after the fourth. The young star finished the game with 19 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists. Besides becoming the first rookie to record a triple-double in WNBA history, she became the fastest player to record 350+ points and 150+ assists.
She needed 22 games to reach this mark, surpassing Sue Bird, who did it in 25 matchups in 2002.
Clark shared her happiness following the game, thanking the fans for their support, but kept her focus on the biggest part of the game: the victory.
"Another one of these," Caitlin said, while making a "W" gesture with her hands. "Shout out to the fans, though. They were unreal. They got us there through the fourth. Happy for our group."
The Indiana Fever has a future superstar and she's already proving that she can be the big player against any opponent.
