INDIANAPOLIS — Kelsey Mitchell scored 27 points, Caitlin Clark added 23 with nine assists, and Lexie Hull scored 12 of her career-high 22 in the fourth quarter to help the Indiana Fever beat the Seattle Storm, 92-75, on Sunday.
With 232 assists so far this season, Clark broke the WNBA rookie record of 224 set by the Sacramento Monarchs’ Ticha Penicheiro in 1998.
Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in April’s draft and a WNBA All-Star last month, has scored at least 20 points in five of her past six games. She has averaged 23.7 points on 47% shooting from the field and 11.7 assists over that span.
Mitchell was 10-of-19 from the field and 5-of-8 from 3-point range, while Hull was 8-of-10 overall and hit a career-best six 3s on seven attempts. Aliyah Boston, the top draft pick and rookie of the year in 2023, grabbed 15 rebounds to go with nine points and a career-high eight assists for Indiana.
Jewell Loyd hit a jumper that cut the Storm’s deficit to 61-60 with 9 minutes to play. Indiana’s Damiris Dantas made a free throw about a minute later, Hull hit a pair of 3-pointers 35 seconds apart, and Mitchell added another from behind the arc before Boston hit a short jumper to cap a 14-5 spurt that made it 75-65 with 5:51 to go.
