The Indiana Fever posted highlights of Caitlin Clark’s passing throughout the season following her historic performance on Wednesday night.

The former Iowa standout explained that she was just looking to find her teammates in the post after the game, including 2023 Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston.

“I just try to set my teammates up for success,” Clark said, per ESPN’s Alexa Philippou. “I think at times I can almost overpass … especially with AB, I’m just looking to set her up so much. My eyes are just always on our post players.”

Clark improved her average to 8.2 assists per game following the incredible performance and currently leads the league in assists. The No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft has looked increasingly comfortable as her inaugural season has progressed, averaging 17.1 points on 40.5/32.7/89.1 shooting splits.

She has continued to break single-game records throughout her brief time in the league, recording the first triple-double by a rookie in WNBA history on July 6. Indiana has also improved following a slow start, currently holding onto the No. 7 seed with a record of 11-15.

Clark will look to help the Fever get back in the win column during their next game, a clash with the Phoenix Mercury on Friday. Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m. ET.
