One historic night. Eleven records shattered. And a warning shot fired across the WNBA.

INDIANAPOLIS —
The rivalry was real. The crowd was loud. And Caitlin Clark? She was unstoppable.

On a night when the basketball world tuned in to see Clark face off against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky, the Indiana Fever did more than win—they dismantled their opponent and rewrote the WNBA record books in the process.

By the time the final buzzer sounded, 11 records had fallen. And the message was clear:

This isn’t just a good team. This might be the beginning of a dynasty.

THE HEADLINE GRABBER: CLARK’S TRIPLE-DOUBLE

Let’s start where everyone started: Caitlin Clark’s historic triple-double.

20 points

10 rebounds

10 assists

4 blocks (a career high)

9-for-15 shooting

And most importantly, a 35-point blowout win

Clark became the first player in WNBA history to record a triple-double with at least 20/10/10 in a season opener. And she did it in just 41 games into her career.

For comparison? Diana Taurasi needed 565 games to reach the same number of 20-point/10-assist games Clark already has.

THE STATS BEHIND THE DOMINANCE

That’s not just a fast start—it’s a transformation of how we understand impact from the point guard position in the WNBA.

Clark now sits:

#3 all-time in WNBA triple-doubles

Tied with Alyssa Thomas for most 20-point triple-doubles

Second all-time in 20/10 assist games behind only Courtney Vandersloot

And she’s done all of it before her sophomore season even hit full stride.

NOT JUST CLARK: FEVER BREAK 11 RECORDS IN ONE NIGHT

While Clark was lighting up the stat sheet, the Indiana Fever were making league history.

Here are just some of the records set during the 93–58 demolition of the Chicago Sky:

    First 20/10/10 triple-double in a WNBA season opener

    Most combined blocks (9) by a point guard/center duo (Clark and Boston)

    Most assists by a Fever player in a season opener

    Largest win margin vs. Chicago in franchise history

    Second-largest win margin in Fever history overall

    Most blocks in a season opener by a point guard (Clark, 4)

    Fastest player to reach 3 career triple-doubles (Clark, in 41 games)

    Aaliyah Boston moves to #8 all-time in Fever rebounds

    Boston becomes 2nd player in WNBA history with 19 pts/13 rebs/5 blocks in an opener

    DeWanna Bonner becomes #3 all-time WNBA scorer

    Clark ties league record for most 20/10 assist games in a player’s first two seasons

This wasn’t just a great performance. It was a statistical earthquake.

THE HIDDEN HISTORY: BONNER’S ASCENT TO IMMORTALITY

While all eyes were on Clark, DeWanna Bonner quietly made WNBA history of her own.

With two clutch free throws in the final quarter, Bonner reached 7,489 career points, officially passing Tina Thompson to become the third-highest scorer in league history.

The arena erupted. Her teammates cheered. Clark herself called it:

“She’s a legend. To be on the floor for that moment? That’s the kind of thing you never forget.”

BOSTON MAKES HER OWN STATEMENT

Aaliyah Boston came into this season with something to prove.
After all the headlines about Clark, some wondered: could Boston still be the anchor?

She answered loud and clear:

19 points

13 rebounds

5 blocks

3 altered shots

Countless deflections and rotations

Her defense on Angel Reese? Suffocating.

Reese finished with 17 rebounds, but just 5-of-14 from the field—and almost all her points came away from Boston’s coverage.

It wasn’t close.
The matchup everyone hyped was one-sided—and Boston owned the paint.

CLARK AND BOSTON: TWIN DOMINANCE

Together, Clark and Boston combined for nine blocks. That’s more than some entire WNBA teams put up in an opener.

It wasn’t just their scoring that impressed. It was the rhythm.

High-low passes.
Help-side defense.
Pick-and-roll chemistry.
And an understanding of where each other would be—before the ball even arrived.

MEANWHILE… THE SKY COLLAPSE

What about Chicago?

Angel Reese posted a quiet double-double, but struggled mightily in her first true test against Boston.
Camila Cardoso was outmatched.
Courtney Williams couldn’t get into rhythm.
The bench was ineffective.

By halftime, it was already slipping away. By the fourth quarter? The Sky were just trying to survive.

Final score: 93–58.
A blowout. A statement. A warning shot.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN SO FAST?

Simple: depth, chemistry, and superstar-level preparation.

This Fever team isn’t just stacked with young talent. They’ve got:

Bonner’s experience

Howard’s versatility

Lexie Hull’s hustle

Sydney Colson’s leadership

Mitchell’s shooting

And two players in Clark and Boston who are already playing like MVPs

The difference? They’re ahead of schedule.

A FEW MORE NUMBERS TO MAKE YOUR HEAD SPIN

Clark has 9 games of 20 pts / 10 assists in 41 total appearances

Diana Taurasi reached that mark in 565 games

Courtney Vandersloot did it in 430

Boston is already top-10 in two Fever all-time lists (rebounds, blocks)

Bonner now trails only Tina Charles and Diana Taurasi on the all-time scoring list

FINAL WORD: THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

If Caitlin Clark, Aaliyah Boston, and the Indiana Fever are doing this in game one, what happens when this team peaks?

They’re breaking records without even breaking a sweat.

“It’s just the start,” Clark said postgame.
“We’re having fun. We’re locked in. And we’re not done.”

And that’s what should scare the rest of the league.

This isn’t a hot streak. This is history in motion.
