Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are hitting their stride at the right time — and taking some shots at a rival team.

Clark helped lead the Fever to a 100-81 win over fellow rookie Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on August 30. The win brought the Fever to .500 at 16-16, their fifth win in six games since returning from the month-long break for the Paris Olympics.

Clark scored 31 points and added 12 assists in the blowout win, adding another WNBA record to her resume. As ESPN’s Alexa Philippou reported, she set a single-season record with the elite stat line.

“Caitlin Clark has notched her third game with 25 points and 10 assists,” Philippou wrote in a post on X. “That’s the most in a season in WNBA history. Only Sabrina Ionescu has more than 3 in a career (5)”

Clark’s performance was so good that she earned a big cheer from the Chicago crowd when she exited the game with a little less than four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.

The Fever poured a bit of salt in Chicago’s wounds, sharing the moment on social media after the win.

“sounds more like a home game to us,” the team wrote alongside the video of Clark’s ovation.
