In a game that had Indiana Fever fans on their feet and Seattle Storm fans asking, “Did that really just happen?” the Fever obliterated the Storm with a commanding 92-75 victory. And while Caitlin Clark (23 points, nine assists) and Aliyah Boston (nine points, 15 rebounds, eight assists) did their usual superstar thing, it was Lexie Hull who decided to channel her inner superhero and put on a show for the ages.
Lexie Hull, usually the quiet, unsuspecting benchwarmer, turned into a flamethrower, scorching the Storm for 22 points on a jaw-dropping 8-of-10 shooting. The 24-year-old sharpshooter was so locked in that the basketball gods themselves might have been taking notes. Six of her seven shots from deep splashed through the net like they had a personal vendetta against Seattle’s defense.
Caitlin Clark, who is no stranger to stealing the spotlight, was left in awe of her teammate’s performance. In fact, Clark was so impressed that she joked about converting her entire X page (that’s Twitter for the old-school folks) into a Lexie Hull fan account. Of course, the Indiana Fever couldn’t resist jumping in on the fun, posting a message that left no doubt about where their allegiance lies: “Big Lexie Hull fans here.”
Let’s be real for a second—Hull hasn’t exactly been a household name this season, averaging a modest 3.7 points per game. But on this Sunday, she was the star that outshone everyone else. With a performance like that, it wouldn’t be surprising if Lexie Hull jerseys start flying off the shelves—or at least get added to some wish lists.
As for the Fever, they’re riding high on back-to-back wins, including Friday’s takedown of the Phoenix Mercury. With momentum on their side, they’re gearing up for a showdown with the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday, and you can bet Lexie Hull will be ready to unleash her superpowers once again.
So, grab your popcorn and stay tuned—this might just be the beginning of Lexie Hull’s superhero saga!
