While the Indiana Fever may have lost to the Chicago Sky for the first time this season, number-one overall pick Caitlin Clark put up an impressive performance. Clark displayed her elite court vision once again, finding her teammates for 13 assists to add to the 17 points that she scored herself.
With her 13 dimes, Clark set the franchise record for most assists in a single game in Fever history.
Clark's fans were out in full force, praising her elite playmaking and court vision that helped set up her teammates.
"Those Caitlin Clark haters are going to be hiding under a f***ing rock tonight," @adub182821 posted.
"She can impact winning in so many ways, that’s how you know she will be an all time great," @EdeyMuse said.
"I love the way she passes the ball it’s beautiful to watch," @calebwheelZ shared.
Some of her fans could not help but feel like she could've had more dimes had her teammates played better.
"She could have five more if teammates could hold on to the ball and make a layup," @Scotty50P pointed out.
"She would have had 18, if 5 passes weren’t dropped," @SWAGDAD80 chimed in.
"She would shatter the rookie record if her teammates caught the ball," @jorgitosatx said.
While Clark had a solid night passing the ball, she was overshadowed by Angel Reese's eighth straight double-double (25 points & 16 rebounds), which extended her own rookie record.
