What happened: Caitlin Clark logged 17 points and five assists over the first two quarters of action. She shot 6-of-7 from the floor and connected on all five of her three-point attempts, becoming just the fifth player in league history to record five 3-pointers and five assists in a single half.

Why it matters: The milestone pace adds to a rookie season marked by historic offensive consistency. Orchestrating the offense while remaining perfect from beyond the arc underscores an elite dual-threat capability.

By the numbers: Clark missed just one field goal attempt over the opening 20 minutes while shooting 100 percent from three-point range.

What to watch: The remainder of the contest is airing live on USA Network.
