WNBA star Sophie Cunningham turned heads with an unusual feat during a game on Wednesday night.
Fans reacted to the Indiana Fever star’s achievement on social media.
The Caitlin Clark-less Fever squad beat the Phoenix Mercury 107-101 in Indianapolis.
And Cunningham came up clutch in the fourth quarter.
The 28-year-old scored nine of her 12 total points in the last 10 minutes of the game.
Four of those points were posted in a single play.
With 4:02 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Cunningham drilled a three-pointer.
Not only did Cunningham make the shot, but she was also fouled in the process.
Mercury’s Satou Sabally’s hand made contact with the face of Cunningham, who then fell to the ground as the shot went through the net.
Cunningham then made the free throw to give Indiana an 11-point lead, and her team wouldn’t look back.
Fans were impressed with Cunningham’s four-point play on social media.
“Excellent shot,” one wrote.
“Cunningham is a genuine favorite,” another commented.
“She has ice in her veins,” a third added.
“I love @sophaller so freaking much,” a fourth said.
Cunningham tallied her seventh double-digit point performance in her past eight games.
In 22 appearances, she has averaged 7.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 10 steals per game.
The Fever have now won six of their past eight games, all without the injured superstar Clark.
They are 15-12 on the season.
Indiana will take on star rookie Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings on Friday night.
