Of course, Caitlin Clark knew she was close to her second triple-double. Her teammates and the home crowd knew it too.

We’d be fooling ourselves if we thought anyone, let alone Caitlin Clark, wasn’t aware of something like a triple-double. It’s hard to ignore stats like that, especially when they’re historic. On Wednesday, while Caitlin was busy throwing monumental 3-pointers and throwing behind-the-back passes, she also recorded yet another triple-double. Her amazing stat line broke a rookie record that *looks it up* she herself set earlier this season.

Caitlin’s impressive performance came courtesy of a last-second rebound. When asked if she knew she was so close, Caitlin smiled and replied, “Of course I knew. But honestly, we were just trying to get stops… We found a way to do it. But someone had to get the rebound. (Aliyah Boston) was just kidding – we always joke about stealing each other’s rebounds. So that was fun.”

There’s someone who didn’t know Caitlin was close to the story – Kelsey Mitchell. While Fever fans were freaking out, Kelsey was seemingly (and hilariously) confused about the whole thing.
