‘Face of the League,’ ‘Definition of MVP’ — WNBA World Reacts As Fever Star Caitlin Clark’s Historic Performance Forces Game 3 vs. Aces

Caitlin Clark delivered a historic performance in Tuesday's playoff matchup to guide the Indiana Fever to a 99-89 victory over the Las Vegas Aces, forcing a decisive Game 3. The 24-year-old guard broke multiple records by recording 27 points, seven rebounds, and fifteen assists, shooting fifty percent from the field and nearly forty-six percent from beyond the arc despite battling past a major shooting slump.

Clark became the sole player in league history to notch at least twenty-five points and fifteen assists in a single postseason contest, while also setting a record for the most total points scored or assisted with fifty-eight. Her stellar playmaking was on full display early, yielding fourteen points and eleven assists prior to halftime to establish a new playoff mark for a double-double before the break.

Although she eventually fouled out during the fourth quarter and picked up a technical foul in the second period, her aggressive momentum successfully fueled the home squad's surge.
