Caitlin Clark’s Record-Setting Double-Double Powers Fever Past Storm (89 – 78)

The Indiana Fever secured an emphatic 89–78 home victory over the Seattle Storm at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, powered by a masterclass performance from Caitlin Clark.

Clark finished the night with 21 points, 10 assists, and 7 rebounds in just 24 minutes of action, registering her 21st career double-double. In doing so, she rewrote the WNBA history books yet again. This marked her 12th career game with at least 20 points and 10 assists—the most in WNBA history, breaking further away from runner-up Courtney Vandersloot.

Additionally, Clark achieved this milestone in a blistering 57 games, extending her record-setting streak of starting a season with four consecutive games of 20+ points and 5+ assists. Backed by 17 points apiece from Kelsey Mitchell and Sophie Cunningham, the Fever dominant lead reached 20 in the fourth quarter (89 – 69), answering any lingering questions about Clark’s early-season efficiency.
