Caitlin Clark absolutely went off against the Chicago Sky on Sunday, dropping a massive 37 points and leading the Indiana Fever to a dominant 113-90 win. That’s not just a good game, that’s an all-timer for her, and she did it by hitting a career-high 8-of-12 from beyond the arc. Seriously, imagine hitting 66% from three when you’re chucking that many. The Sky had no answer for her from deep, and it shows in that scoreline.
Clark’s Shot Was Unstoppable
We’ve seen flashes, but this game was different. Clark played 32 minutes and was just lights out. She put up 37 points on 13-24 overall field goal shooting, which is super efficient when you consider how many of those were bombs from three. Going 8-of-12 from three is insane, but she also went 3-4 from the free throw line. She was a complete scoring threat. Coming into this game, Clark was averaging 21.7 points per game. To blow past that average by more than 15 points? That’s the kind of performance that makes you stop scrolling and pay attention. It just shows the kind of offensive firepower she brings when she’s locked in.
Beyond the Buckets: Playmaking and the Turnovers
It wasn’t just scoring either. Clark dished out 10 assists, showing she is still a dynamic playmaker even when she’s dropping huge scoring numbers. You love to see that combo. She also snagged 3 rebounds and had 1 steal, rounding out a pretty full stat sheet. However, she did tally 5 turnovers. That’s definitely an area for growth, even in a monster game like this. Her season average for assists coming in was 8.2 rebounds were 3.9, so while the scoring exploded, her assists stayed high and rebounds were slightly lower. This performance against Chicago, with those incredible shooting numbers, puts the league on watch. We’re talking about a player who can fundamentally take over a game when she finds her rhythm.
This kind of explosive game, especially with a career-high for three-pointers, just makes you wonder what’s next. If she keeps hitting shots like that, the Fever are going to be a tough out for any team.
