Caitlin Clark absolutely lit up our Seattle Storm on Friday night, dropping a career-high 45 points and becoming the first player in WNBA history to score 40 points and 10 assists in a single game. The Indiana Fever ultimately claimed a tough 110-107 win over our squad, and honestly, it stings.
She Torched Our Storm Defense, Then This Happened
Look, you gotta give credit where credit’s due, even when it’s against your team. Clark was on fire, not just with points but with her playmaking, too. That 45-point, 10-assist performance is historic, no joke. It’s tough seeing our Storm take that L, especially when someone goes off like that. Clark is already having a career season, averaging 20.9 points, four rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game as the Fever are off to a 15-10 start. She’s living up to the hype, even when we’re on the wrong side of it.
Purple Kicks and a Whole Lotta Hype
And if dropping a career-high on our team wasn’t enough, Clark then went and teased a new colorway of her signature Nike Caitlin 1 shoe on her Instagram story Saturday. We’ve seen blue, white, and yellow versions already, but this new one looks like a purple gradient. It’s expected to drop October 1st and will retail for $140 in North America. It’s wild to think she’s already got signature shoes coming out, making a splash on and off the court.
So yeah, our Storm took a punch, but this is the WNBA, and every game is a battle. We’ll be keeping an eye on Clark and her Fever as their season progresses, and maybe even a closer eye on those new kicks when they drop. Hopefully, next time the Storm faces them, we can shut down that scoring clinic.
