Clark dropped 24 points on 7-16 shooting from the field while racking up 7 assists on the night.
Despite not playing in the fourth quarter, Mitchell was the star of the offense in the win. She had 29 points, including a blistering 16-point first quarter. The four-time All-Star went 11-16 from the field and scored the 8 points in the third quarter before heading to the locker room.
Head coach Stephanie White explained that Mitchell exiting the game early was due to her “overheating.”
When asked about Mitchell’s absence from the fourth, Clark playfully took a dig at the nation of Canada, saying, “Maybe if Canada had air conditioning, that would probably be helpful. It’s a million degrees in here, but hopefully she’ll be okay.”
Fans across social media took to X to rave about how incredible Clark and Mitchell are as a duo after the two combined for 53 points tonight.
“Caitlin Clark & Kelsey Mitchell, no better backcourt duo,” the official Fever account posted. They then laid out some stats: “16th game with 20+ PTS each, most by a duo in a single-season in WNBA history.”
