ROOKIE guard Caitlin Clark dished out a WNBA-record 19 assists for the Indiana Fever in their 101-93 loss to the Dallas Wings on Wednesday in Arlington, Texas (Thursday in Manila).
Clark surpassed Courtney Vandersloot’s previous single-game assist record of 18. Vandersloot, who currently plays for the New York Liberty, set the mark on Aug. 31, 2020, as a member of the Chicago Sky.
Clark’s record-breaking assist provided the Fever’s final points on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila). With Indiana trailing 93-90, Clark drove the lane before she stopped and found Kelsey Mitchell on the left wing for a game-tying 3-pointer with 2:22 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Dallas (6-19) scored the game’s final eight points to snap a three-game skid.
