Another win for Caitlin Clark. Another milestone for Caitlin Clark.

She became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 100 3-pointers in a season. She had 10 rebounds and 10 assists as she recorded her second career triple-double. When Clark made a late Kia Nurse miss, the Gainbridge Fieldhouse crowd erupted.

“I knew that of course, but honestly we just wanted to make stops,” she said.

Fellow Fever star Aliyah Boston added 24 points, 14 rebounds and four assists in the win. Kelsey Mitchell had 18 points.

The Fever are now 18-16 on the season and have firmly entered the postseason after starting the year 1-8. Since returning from the Olympics, the Fever are 7-1, with their only loss coming to the Minnesota Lynx.

“Certainly, cool,” Clark said before the Sparks game about making the postseason. “It doesn’t even have to go to the last minute for us, and I think that’s special. You can just relax and play basketball and have fun. Yeah, we accomplished that, but there’s so much more at stake.”

Erica Wheeler explained that the team can do much more.

“The job’s not done yet,” Wheeler said. “We’ve got six, seven games left and we can’t think ahead that much. As a veteran, I know that for sure. So for me, it’s not time to think about the playoffs yet. You’ve got seven games left.”
