With just 22.7 seconds left on the clock and the Fever trailing by one point, Hull curled off a pair of off-ball screens set by center Aliyah Boston, caught a pinpoint cross-court pass from Rookie of the Year front-runner Caitlin Clark, and nailed the contested corner 3-pointer without a single hesitation, putting the Fever up by two points before their defense forced a missed Sky layup on the subsequent possession to lock in the victory. Hull, a former Stanford Cardinal standout who won a national championship with the program in 2021 before being drafted by the Fever with the 6th overall pick in the 2022 WNBA Draft, has spent most of her three-year professional career as a reliable role player focused on 3-and-D contributions, averaging 8.2 points per game and shooting a career-high 38.7% from beyond the arc through the 2024 regular season. Head coach Christie Sides noted in her post-game press conference that Hull has been the team’s most consistent shooter in high-pressure situations all season, and the coaching staff drew up the final play specifically to create an open look for her in the corner. "This play was designed for Lexie because we know no one on the roster works harder on their 3-point shot, and she never shrinks from the moment," Sides told reporters. "She’s been putting in extra work after practice every single day for the last two months, and that shot is the perfect payoff for all that effort." The win marked the Fever’s 22nd victory of the 2024 season, officially locking the franchise into its first playoff berth since 2020, a milestone that teammates and fans alike attributed heavily to Hull’s clutch performance. Clark, who finished the game with 18 points and 11 assists, told reporters that she had no second thoughts about passing the ball to Hull in that moment, even with multiple Sky defenders closing in on her. "I knew if I got the ball to her, she was going to knock it down," Clark said. "That’s the kind of player she is, we all trust her completely when the game is on the line." Hull finished the night with 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals, going 4-for-7 from 3-point range in one of the best individual performances of her professional career.
