Caitlin Clark‘s feverishly hot rookie campaign in the WNBA keeps getting better.
The WNBA’s No. 1 overall pick recorded a double-double for the fifth game in a row, and for the sixth time in seven games, as the Indiana Fever got a 95-86 win over the Phoenix Mercury.
Clark dropped 20 points and handed out 13 assists, tying a career-high that she has notched four times, all of which have come in her last seven contests.

It was also the third-straight game where she had 13 assists.
In her last seven games, she’s averaging 18.3 points and 11.7 assists.
After starting the season 3-10, the Fever have now won seven of their last 11 games – but this one was almost a brutal collapse.
The Fever led by 31 points with 1:38 to go in the third quarter, but the Mercury went on a 31-4 run to cut their deficit to just four points with 3:12 to go in the ballgame.
However, Indiana survived by going on a 10-5 run to end it, which included Clark’s final two assists.
This comes on the precipice of Clark earning the most votes for next Saturday’s All-Star Game – she was the only player to garner over 700,000 votes – her Fever teammate, Aaliyah Boston, was second, while A’ja Wilson was third.
Perhaps Clark saw Angel Reese’s (ongoing) streak of 14-straight double-doubles, which is an all-time league record. Reese earned the fifth-most votes, and she and Clark are the only two rookies to be voted All-Stars.
The Fever head to Minnesota to take on the Lynx on Sunday, and their final game before the month-long Olympic break will be on Wednesday against the Dallas Wings.
