‘I Don’t Think We’re There Yet’ – Caitlin Clark Reveals Her Goal for the Fever After Historic 45-Point Eruption vs. Storm

Caitlin Clark put together one of the greatest performances in WNBA history on Friday night with a 45-point outing against the Seattle Storm. But the Indiana Fever superstar wasn’t interested in celebrating individual milestones after the final buzzer.

Instead, Clark made it clear that her focus remains on helping the Fever become the best team in the league.

Caitlin Clark More Focused on Team Goals Than Personal Milestones

The Fever defeated the Storm 110-107 as Clark rewrote the record books at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The superstar guard finished with 45 points, 10 assists, 4 steals, and shot 11-for-18 from the field, including 6-for-10 from 3-point range.

Even more impressive, she did it in just 29 minutes while still playing under a minutes restriction because of her lingering back issue.

The performance checked off one milestone after another. Clark became the first player in WNBA history to record a 40-point, 10-assist game. She also broke Kelsey Mitchell’s franchise record of 38 points to set a new Fever single-game scoring mark.

She also became the fastest player in league history to reach 200 career triples, needing just 74 games.

Yet none of those accomplishments were what Clark wanted to talk about postgame. Asked what scoring the most points in the Fever’s history meant to her, the former Rookie of the Year quickly shifted the focus back to the team.

“I mean, it’s cool. I don’t really care. I know what I’m capable of, and I know what this team is capable of. And it’s my job to help us win and be the best team in the WNBA. And I don’t think we’re there yet. So it’s my responsibility to help us get there. So we’ll keep working.”
