Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever lost to A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces 78-74 on Friday night, marking their second trip to Las Vegas in three days. In the game on Friday, the Aces completed the season sweep after winning the match on Wednesday, 86-75.
A defender for Las Vegas Aces was all over Clark as she made a step back three and a crossover play with 50 seconds left in the third quarter. Then she gave her customary tongue-out celebration. The play's play-by-play narrator for Fever, Pat Boylan, voiced his pleasure immediately after the performance by referring to Clark's maneuver and celebration as "vintage."
Clark's 14th score in the third quarter came from this three-pointer. Clark ended the game with eight rebounds, 10 assists, and eight points on seven of his eight shots. The WNBA record for most assists in a season was also surpassed by her.
