INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Fever had their biggest comeback win of the WNBA season Sunday, rallying from a 16-point deficit to beat the Atlanta Dream 104-100 in overtime at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Caitlin Clark had 26 points, 12 assists and 5 rebounds for the Fever and became the first WNBA rookie to play a full overtime game (45 minutes) since Utah’s Natalie Williams in 1999. Williams was in her first WNBA season then, but she was 28 and already a professional, having played in the short-lived ABL.
Clark is now the first WNBA player to average at least 25 points and 10 assists over a five-game span in league history. With her fifth 25 and 10 game of the season, Clark has tied New York’s Sabrina Ionescu for the most ever in the league. Ionescu was the WNBA’s No. 1 pick in 2020, and Clark was the top pick earlier this year.
Another WNBA record for Clark: She now has 10 consecutive games hitting at least three shots from behind the arc. That’s the longest such streak in league history. And Clark is the third player in WNBA history…
