WNBA: Caitlin Clark's Record-Breaking 45 Points, Dominique Malonga's Double-Double
Caitlin Clark delivered a phenomenal performance, scoring 45 points and dishing out 10 assists. In addition to her offensive outburst, she also recorded four steals and two blocks. This game saw Clark make history as the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 200 career three-pointers, achieving this milestone in just 74 games, surpassing Katie Smith's previous record of 81 games. Her 45-point tally also set a new franchise record.
The Fever star shot an impressive 11-for-18 from the field, including 6-of-10 from beyond the arc, and was nearly perfect from the free-throw line, making 17 out of 19 attempts.
"I feel like some nights, you know before tip-off that you're going to win," Caitlin Clark said. "I felt like this was going to be one of those nights for me."
"She's an exceptional player, truly talented," commented Sonia Raman, the Storm's coach. "Her three-point shooting was particularly effective tonight. You know how she gets her lateral space. That threat is always there, and you know her effectiveness driving to the basket, her effectiveness finding her floaters. She was really solid in all aspects of the game."
For Seattle, Dominique Malonga contributed 28 points and 14 rebounds. The Storm suffered their fourth consecutive loss and currently sit at the bottom of the league standings. The French All-Star is averaging 16.2 points and 8.5 rebounds this season.
