Coming off the bench, the superstar guard orchestrated the floor with masterclass precision, showcasing the elite court vision, lethal deep shooting, and poise that have defined her meteoric rise.

Clark posted a remarkable double-double, matching a team-high with 14 points alongside 11 assists and 3 rebounds in just 25 minutes of action.

Whether knocking down signature perimeter jumpers or threading microscopic passes through defensive gaps, Clark controlled the tempo whenever she stepped onto the hardwood. Finishing with an astounding game-high +30 plus/minus rating, Clark left no doubt that her dynamic game translates seamlessly to the international stage.
