What do you even say? Caitlin Clark with 45 points and 10 assists. An unbelievable performance. She guides the Fever comeback as they beat the Storm 110-107 and improve to 15-10.

Unbelievably happy for Caitlin Clark. She needed that game. The Fever needed that game. We all needed that game. 💫

Breaking records in both leagues, just like college.
This is why it’s just different on this side.

For stat nerds, CC scored 91 ESPN NBA fantasy points tonight.
For reference, A'ja scored 81 FPTs in her record-setting 53-point game, Mabrey scored 70 in hers & Paige had 69 in her 44-point game.
NBA FPTs penalize for turnovers & missed shots/FTs.
Historic stuff! 🔥🔥 https://t.co/xOB8POoy2m
