    Caitlin Clark led her team to a big win over fellow rookie Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Friday, earning another spot in the WNBA history books in the process.

    The Indiana Fever used a big second half to secure a 100-81 win over the Sky, moving to .500 at 16-16. Clark had a monster game, finishing with 31 points to go along with 12 assists, four rebounds and one steal.

    While the game may have given Clark a big boost in the race for WNBA Rookie of the Year against Reese, she also earned some more immediate accolades. Clark earned her 11th double-double of the season, tying the league record for most in a single season by a guard.

    But Clark wasn't done there. As ESPN's Alexa Philippou added, the Fever rookie also became the single-season leader in an elite combination of stats.

    "Caitlin Clark has notched her third game with 25 points and 10 assists," Philippou wrote in a post on X . "That's the most in a season in WNBA history. Only Sabrina Ionescu has more than 3 in a career (5)"
