The Indiana Fever faced the Dallas Wings in Texas on Sunday afternoon. Caitlin Clark had a poor start shooting, missing her first four shots, but she still influenced the pace of play as the Fever drove the ball up the court with each possession.
Clark collected a rebound and dribbled three times before passing to Kelsey Mitchell on a three-quarter court bounce. Mitchell collected the ball and instantly bounced it behind her back to NaLyssa Smith, who converted the layup.
Clark’s willingness to throw outrageous passes to teammates rushing for the basket does not appear on the stat sheet, but it adds to the excitement of every Fever possession. It’s also one of the reasons she leads the WNBA in turnovers, but it’s worth it for moments like these. Clark will have seven games left after Sunday to try to break the WNBA record for assists in a season. As of Sunday morning, she needed to average 6.5 assists per game for the following several weeks to tie Alyssa Thomas’ record of 316.
