Caitlin Clark Puts Up Historic Numbers, Silences Critics

Caitlin Clark was on fire in a Tuesday night loss to the Los Angeles Sparks.

While the Indiana Fever fell to 1-7 after the 88-82 loss, Clark pulled off several historic WNBA accomplishments.

The former Iowa phenom became the first rookie in league history to score 30 points, block three shots and grab three seals in a game, according to ESPN. It's hard to believe that's never happened before, but Clark became the first player to ever pull it off.

That wasn't the only accomplishment Clark pulled off Tuesday night. She's the first rookie and fourth player in league history to finish a game with 30 points, five rebounds, six assists, three steals and three blocks, according to StatMamba.

StatMamba also reported Clark is the fastest player in league history to 100 points and 50 assists.

Caitlin Clark puts up historic numbers.

Clark and the Fever might not have earned the win, but there's no doubt the star guard is silencing her critics. Even with the team being 1-7, Clark has found her footing and is starting to soar.

Clark has scored at least 20 points in half of the team's games this season and is averaging a blistering 6.3 assists per game.

She pretty much has to carry the entire team because there's very little talent around her with the Fever. Sorry, but it's true.

Even in a loss to the Sparks, Clark managed to go out there and put up multiple WNBA firsts. The critics will point to the fact the team lost, but the reality is the rookie guard is proving why she's the face of the league.

People can try to tear her down all they want. It makes no difference. Caitlin Clark is a true star, and the numbers reflect it.
