Caitlin Clark decided the third game of a road trip on no rest was the night to have the best shooting night of her career. She went off for 37 points, 10 assists and 8-of-12 from deep as the Fever ran the Sky off the floor 113-90, and Chicago's loss was enough to knock them out of the playoff picture.

It was a first-half preview of what was coming. Clark had 17 points, 3 threes and 6 assists by the break, already putting the Sky defense in a blender. By the time the fourth quarter opened, she'd stretched it to 29 points, 6 threes and 8 assists with the game still tight, and the Sky simply had no answer for the pull-up range she was operating from.

The record chase turned into appointment viewing down the stretch. Clark tied her career high with her 7th three midway through the fourth, then broke it minutes later on an 8th triple that had the broadcast losing its mind.

The final box score was absurd even by Clark's standards: 37 points on 13-of-24 shooting, 10 assists, 3 rebounds and just one turnover-free stretch after another as Indiana blew the game open. It marked the 5th time in her career Clark has posted at least 30 points and 10 assists in a single game — a milestone the rest of WNBA history had combined for only 4 times before she arrived, according to Yardbarker.

For Chicago, the loss closed the door on a playoff push, and it came against the exact player the Sky have had no answer for in this rivalry. For Indiana, it's another data point in a season where Clark keeps rewriting her own record book every few weeks — a 3-2 finish on a brutal road trip that had them playing their third game in four nights, capped by the best shooting night of her career. The Fever will take the momentum into the stretch run; the only question left is how many more career highs Clark has left in her before the playoffs even start.
