INDIANAPOLIS -- Caitlin Clark became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 100 3-pointers in a season and finished with 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for her second career triple-double as the playoff-bound Indiana Fever beat the Los Angeles Sparks 93-86 on Wednesday night.

Clark connected on her second 3 of the game and 100th of the season midway through the third quarter and added two more to reach 102 and finish 4 of 10 from long range. The No. 1 overall draft pick is the first rookie with 100 3s.

She also became the first rookie and fifth WNBA player with multiple triple-doubles in a season, joining Alyssa Thomas, Courtney Williams, Sabrina Ionescu and Candace Parker.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Was a heck of a ball game last night for women?s league championship series.  As Minn came back from what looked like a sure defeat to to beat NY Liberty in OT. 

Congrats to both teams for good fun basketball .

While the WNBA is getting sellout crowds for the finals between the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx, the league?s owners will not be making a return on their investment for the foreseeable future, sources close to the situation said.

The NBA owns nearly 60 percent of the league.

When one combines the NBA owners personal stakes in WNBA teams and the WNBA itself, the amount rises to 75 percent, a source with direct knowledge of the numbers said.

The NBA team owners have invested hundreds of millions in the WNBA since its 1996 formation, per sources.

?The WNBA owes the NBA so much we won?t see any windfall for years, an NBA team executive told The Post.

This season the WNBA will lose $40 million, a bit better than the $50 million forecast and reported by several media outlets months ago but still a loss, sources said.

Starting in the 2026 season, the WNBA will get up to $2.2 billion over 11 years as part of the new basketball media contracts.
