On a night where Caitlin Clark scored a career-high 45 points, it was what she did elsewhere to impact the game that stood out.
In a tied game at 102 points apiece with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter, Clark chased down Seattle’s star rookie Flau’jae Johnson to stop a potential go-ahead basket for the Storm. It was a bang-bang play and Clark may have gotten away with some contact, self-admittedly. The effort, however, was the culmination of a standout night in every aspect of the game.
