Story

Caitlin Clark made history by becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 100 three-pointers in a single season during a game on Wednesday night. She achieved this milestone while scoring 24 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and dishing out 10 assists, marking her second career triple-double. The Indiana Fever secured a 93-86 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks, solidifying their playoff position after recent losses by other teams. Clark's performance included connecting on her 100th three-pointer midway through the third quarter, and she finished the game with a total of 102 three-pointers for the season. This achievement makes her the first rookie in WNBA history to reach this mark and places her among the elite players with multiple triple-doubles in a season, joining the ranks of Alyssa Thomas, Courtney Williams, Sabrina Ionescu, and Candace Parker. The Fever's win was significant as it marked their fifth consecutive victory, a feat not accomplished since 2015. They have also shown strong performance at home, winning 10 of their last 11 games since June 1. Aliyah Boston contributed significantly to the win with 24 points and 14 rebounds, while Kelsey Mitchell added 18 points, just shy of her eighth consecutive 20-point game. On the other hand, the Sparks continue to struggle, having lost five straight games on the road and 15 of their last 17 away from home this season. Odyssey Sims led Los Angeles with 20 points, but the team could not overcome the Fever's strong performance, highlighting their ongoing challenges this season.
