    Since the WNBA's return from the Olympic break, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever have been one of the best teams in the league.

    The Fever have won six of their seven games since August 16 and own the best record in the WNBA over that time span. This has a lot to do with Clark taking her game to the next level after the month-long vacation.

    On Sunday, her stellar play continued in a 100-93 win over the Dallas Wings, where Clark notched another double-double, scoring 28 points and dishing out 12 assists.

    One play in particular stood out to many, and this kind of play has become the norm for Clark.

    In the second quarter, Clark received the ball on a fast break opportunity for Indiana. After getting close to the hoop, Clark made an incredible behind-the-back pass to NaLyssa Smith for an easy layup.

    The highlight was captured in slow-motion thanks to eli.snapped on Instagram.

    WNBA fans took over the comment section, loving every bit of the slow-motion highlight assist from Clark.

    "When caitlin pull out her tounge...game over," one fan said.

    "She reads the court better than anyone," commented another.

    "That was a great pass! Good job NaLyssa for finishing! Nice job girls," added a third.

    "The girl makes it happen!!!!" replied one other with many fire emojis.

    "So good," said a fifth.

    Even Fever forward Temi Fagbenle was impressed with the slow-motion video, adding her own comment of five fire emojis.

    Over the last seven games, Clark is averaging 24.6 points and 9.0 assists. The former Iowa Hawkeyes star also won her first WNBA Player of the Week award for games between August 15-25. With her recent play, Clark has now taken the driver's seat in the Rookie of the Year race over Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.
