Elsewhere, Clark did a great job finding her teammates, including Aliyah Boston, who posted a dominant 24-point, 14-rebound double-double.

Clark later did work on both ends, hitting a three, corralling a loose ball and finding Boston behind-the-back again, but this time for two more.
what a sequence!

That turned a 71-68 game into a 76-68 advantage.
The Sparks were able to cut the Fever lead to three points on multiple occasions down the stretch but could not get any closer.
Indiana pulled away on the free throw line in the closing minutes thanks to some clutch free throws and this timely Boston bucket, which was courtesy of Clark’s 10th assist of the evening.

It’s been an incredible run for the 18-16 Fever, now winners of five straight and seven of eight. The entire team has been firing on all cylinders, with Clark, Boston and Kelsey Mitchell (18 points) leading the way.
As for Wednesday, it was simply another amazing performance from Clark, who got her first triple-double on July 7 in an 83-78 win over the New York Liberty (19 points, 13 assists, 12 rebounds).

While some of basketball’s biggest voices spent recent days trying to knock her down, Caitlin Clark tuned them out and came out with a triple-double like it’s nbd.
At just 23 she’s found the holy grail combo of complete class + a light sprinkle of petty, and I am obsessed.

I'm sorry, I know our feeds are flooded with Caitlin Clark all the time but it's because she keeps doing good things, great things, every game.
It's quite comical.
