She\u00a0set the new mark\u00a0in the second quarter on an inbounds pass to teammate Kelsey Mitchell, who drove to the paint and knocked down the bucket.<\/p>\n<p>Clark finished the game with 18 points, 9 assists and eight rebounds, while Mitchell led Indiana with 20 points in the loss.<\/p>\n<p>The accomplishment adds to the 2024 No. 1 pick\u2019s historic season, which includes setting the WNBA\u2019s single-game assist record with 19 against the Dallas Wings in July and the rookie assists record last month. Clark has also become the first rookie to record a\u00a0triple-double\u00a0and holds the most three-pointers made by a rookie in league\u00a0history.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/WMXXP.Ot8UajIXcsLUlLpA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTEyNDI7aD02OTk-\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/aol_cnn_sports_articles_606\/c9210fed88876a6ae22f3b2140f66354\" alt=\"Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever celebrates a basket during the second half of a game against the Las Vegas Aces. - Emilee Chinn\/Getty Images\" data-caas-lazy-loading-init=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever celebrates a basket during the second half of a game against the Las Vegas Aces. \u2013 Emilee Chinn\/Getty ImagesIndiana trailed 43-35 at halftime, before Clark caught fire in the third quarter, scoring 14 points and bringing the Fever to within three points. After Damiris Dantas made a three pointer early in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 60-60, the Aces broke out on a 9-2 run to pad their lead.<\/p>\n<p>The Fever had an opportunity to tie the game with under 20 seconds left in the game, however Fever star Aliyah Boston missed the three-point attempt. Aces guard Chelsea Gray made a pair of free throws on the ensuing possession to put the game out of reach.<\/p>\n<p>Aces star A\u2019ja Wilson, fresh off of setting the WNBA\u2019s\u00a0single-season scoring record\u00a0on Wednesday, finished with 15 points and 17 rebounds in the victory, while Gray added 21 points and six assists.<\/p>\n<p>After the game, Clark was asked about her record-setting night, as well as Wilson\u2019s and Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese\u2019s milestones this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it definitely just speaks to the whole entire year and how historic it has been for this league and how great the basketball has been for the league,\u201d Clark said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know we\u2019re not even to the playoffs yet, I think that\u2019s what is so fun about it is you\u2019re just going to continue to see records be taken down but also I think really good basketball and that\u2019s why its been so fun to watch, that\u2019s why the fans have been showing up, the viewership has been absolutely crushed this year,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think everybody is just kind of raising their game, the competition is just getting better and better and it\u2019s fun as a competitor to show up in this league every night and know you have to bring your best because you know whosever is on the other side of the court from you, they\u2019re going to bring their best and that\u2019s what makes it fun,\u201d Clark said. \u201cIt\u2019s been cool to watch everybody really take a step up and elevate and to be a part of that has been really fun for myself too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though the Fever fell short to the Aces for a second straight game, they remain in sixth place\u00a0in the standings and have already secured a spot in the playoffs.
