Caitlin Clark scores 37 in Indiana Fever's win over Dallas Wings

On August 6, 2026, Caitlin Clark scored 37 points and recorded 10 assists to help the Indiana Fever secure a 113-90 victory against the Dallas Wings. Despite her stellar performance, Phoenix Mercury announcer Cindy Brunson criticized Clark for allegedly "stat padding," noting that she played during the final minute while the Fever were ahead by 20. Brunson pointed out that Paige Bueckers scored 32 points in just 26 minutes for the Wings, which she deemed more impressive. Clark expressed confidence before the game, contributing significantly to the Fever's win after a prior loss to the New York Liberty. Clark hit her career-high eighth three-pointer late in the game before leaving the floor with just over a minute remaining.
