In an arena where tenacity meets talent, and the stakes are as high as the rim, WNBA stars Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull gave fans more than just a game to remember—they served up some post-game comic relief that could rival any stand-up routine. While the Indiana Fever dominated the Connecticut Sun with an 84-40 smackdown, it was Hull’s post-game interview that truly stole the show, and maybe even the season.
Lexie Hull, who’s become known for her hustle despite being ahem vertically challenged compared to her peers, was in the midst of discussing her defensive prowess when she unintentionally delivered a line that left the audience—and Caitlin Clark—howling. “I know I was undersized going against DB (DeWanna Bonner),” Hull started, a serious tone in her voice. But then came the zinger: “So I’m trying to just be as active as I could, get my hands on as many balls as I could.”
Cue Caitlin Clark, who couldn’t hold back her laughter, breaking into a fit that spread like wildfire among the assembled reporters. “Oh, Lex,” Clark managed between giggles, while Hull, fully aware of the hilarious double entendre she’d just dropped, joined in the laughter.
And if you think that’s where the humor ends, think again. The clip of Hull’s NSFW (but totally SFW) remark rocketed through social media, amassing more than 2,000 likes in just under an hour. The comment section? Pure gold. Fans couldn’t get enough of the candid moment, with some suggesting Hull might have a future in comedy if the whole basketball thing doesn’t work out.
But let’s not forget—these women are on the court to play ball, not just crack jokes. Hull had a stellar game, pouring in 17 points and snatching eight rebounds, helping the Fever notch their sixth win in eight games. If that wasn’t enough, she’s been on fire lately, including a career-high 22-point performance against the Seattle Storm on Aug. 18. Not bad for someone who’s allegedly “undersized.”
Of course, it wouldn’t be a WNBA recap without mentioning Caitlin Clark’s historic night. Clark, the three-point queen, shattered Rhyne Howard’s rookie record for most threes in a season, draining her 86th bomb from beyond the arc and cementing her place in the WNBA history books. By the time the night was over, she had 88 three-pointers on the season, leaving Howard’s record in the dust.
While Hull was busy making everyone laugh, Clark was busy making sure the Fever stayed hot. She tallied 19 points, dished out five assists, grabbed five boards, and hit three triples, including the record-breaker. Talk about a dual threat—lethal on the court, and now a potential viral sensation thanks to Hull.
Not to be outdone, Kelsey Mitchell chipped in with 23 points, setting a new franchise record for consecutive 20+ point games. Aliyah Boston and NaLyssa Smith rounded out the Fever’s starting five with solid performances, combining for 20 points and 12 rebounds, while Boston added eight assists and four steals to her stat line. These Fever players are clearly heating up at just the right time.
With only nine games left in the regular season and the easiest remaining schedule in the league, according to Tankathon, the Indiana Fever are on a roll. Up next, they’ll face a Chicago Sky team that’s been anything but heavenly, dropping their last four games despite being led by the dynamic Angel Reese. Can the Fever keep their momentum and continue their rise in the standings? If their recent form—and their sense of humor—is any indication, we’re in for an entertaining ride.
So, while Lexie Hull might have made headlines for a cheeky slip of the tongue, let’s not forget she and the rest of the Fever are doing some serious damage on the court. As for Caitlin Clark, well, she’s just out here breaking records—and laughing her way through history.
