Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark continued her assault on the WNBA record books on Tuesday. She eclipsed Sabrina Ionescu's record for most games with 25 points and 10 assists.

Making Caitlin Clark's latest feat all the more impressive was that she did it in just 42 games in her WNBA career, compared to Ionescu, who recorded her fifth 25-10 game during the 2024 season, her fifth year in the WNBA.
The former Iowa standout moved to a tie with Ionescu back in September, incidentally against the Dream after she went for 26 points and 12 assists in a 104-100 overtime home victory.
The latest 25-10 game of Caitlin Clark also thrust her to a tie with veteran guard Courtney Vandersloot of the Chicago Sky with the most 20-point and 10-assist games in league history, with 10.
Indiana falls short of a win despite Caitlin Clark's masterclass
While Caitlin Clark made history with her latest 25-10 game, it was not enough to help the Indiana Fever notch their second win of the WNBA season. The Fever trailed for the most part the game but had the opportunity to pull the rug from under the Dream with a spirited charge late in the game.
They held a one-point lead, 90-89, with 21.1 seconds following a split from the free-throw line by Aliyah Boston. Atlanta, however, managed to reclaim the lead 12 seconds later, off two free throws made by All-Star Rhyne Howard,
After a timeout, veteran Natasha Howard had two chances to win it for the Fever. Her first shot near the basket was blocked by the Dream's Nia Coffey. She was able to chase down the rebound, but her midrange shot from 12 feet missed the mark, preserving the win for Atlanta.
Caitlin Clark led the way for the Fever with 27 points, 11 assists and five rebounds. Boston and Kelsey Mitchell each had 24 points.
Howard only had six points while DeWanna Bonner, who made history in their season-opener by becoming the third all-time leading scorer in the WNBA, finished with zero points.
For Atlanta, it was Brittney Griner who led with 21 points, followed by Rhyne Howard (20), Brionna Jones (19) and Allisha Gray (16). The Fever and Dream play again on Thursday in Atlanta.
