What happened

Caitlin Clark scored a career-high 38 points against the Storm, breaking past the 35-point mark she had tied earlier in the same contest. She also added a steal and a three-pointer during the surge.

Why it matters

The performance comes just days after Clark was at the center of discipline-adjacent news surrounding a Flagrant 2 foul called on Alyssa Thomas. It also follows Clark reaching the fastest-to-200-career-threes mark, a milestone she hit earlier in this same game.

Seattle had led by as many as four points late in the fourth quarter before Clark's scoring surge shifted the game's momentum.

By the numbers

Clark's 38 points mark a new career high, eclipsing the 35 she had tied earlier in the game. The total includes a steal and a three-pointer added during the closing stretch.

What to watch next

The final result and full box score are expected as the Fever close out the game against the Storm.
