Caitlin Clark scored a career-high 45 points and 10 assists for the first 40-10 game in WNBA history, leading the Indiana Fever to a 110-107 win over Seattle on Friday night. Clark also became the fastest player to make 200 career 3-pointers, reaching the mark in 74 games to break Katie Smith's record of 81 games.

Her 45 points set a franchise record and made her the first WNBA player to score 45 or more points in fewer than 30 minutes (29:28). Kelsey Mitchell added 30 points, making Clark and Mitchell the first teammates in league history to have a 40-point game and a 30-point game in the same contest.

Clark sealed the victory with a crucial block on Flau'jae Johnson with 54.9 seconds left, then hit a 3-pointer and went 4-of-4 from the free-throw line in the final 17 seconds. Dominique Malonga led Seattle (6-21) with 28 points and 14 rebounds as the Storm lost their fourth straight. The Fever improved to 15-10.
