Social media reactions to Caitlin Clark's WNBA career-high

[ASFN Admin]

Despite only playing 29 minutes, Caitlin Clark erupted for a record-setting performance on Friday night in the Indiana Fever's 110-107 win over the Seattle Storm. Clark became the first WNBA player to score 45 points and record 10 assists in a single game.

Not only was the spectacular night a league record, but it was also a Fever franchise record for points scored in a single game and the former Hawkeye's new season and career-high. Clark also became the fastest player to make 200 3-pointers in WNBA history, taking only 74 games to accomplish the feat.

Clark's offensive explosion on Friday night is exactly what fans have been waiting for.

Here are some of the best social media reactions from Indiana Fever fans, media and sponsors to Clark's historic outing on Friday night:

What do you even say? Caitlin Clark with 45 points and 10 assists. An unbelievable performance. She guides the Fever comeback as they beat the Storm 110-107 and improve to 15-10.

Unbelievably happy for Caitlin Clark. She needed that game. The Fever needed that game. We all needed that game.

Breaking records in both leagues, just like college.

This is why it’s just different on this side.

For stat nerds, CC scored 91 ESPN NBA fantasy points tonight.

For reference, A'ja scored 81 FPTs in her record-setting 53-point game, Mabrey scored 70 in hers & Paige had 69 in her 44-point game.

NBA FPTs penalize for turnovers & missed shots/FTs.

Historic stuff! https://t.co/xOB8POoy2m
