Caitlin Clark put on a clinic Tuesday night, leading the Indiana Fever to a dominant 113-91 victory over the Toronto Tempo — a franchise so new that half the audience was probably doing a double take when the score came up.
Oh, and this win was the scorching Fever’s fourth straight win.

But the biggest milestone of the night was Clark’s retaking the top spot in the WNBA assist rankings. She recorded 14 assists in just 32 minutes.
