Caitlin Clark said the Indiana Fever's victory over the Atlanta Dream should be a reminder of how the team should play every time they step onto the court.
The Fever came into their clash with Atlanta on the back of a 19-point loss to the Golden State Valkyries, but bounced back with a 99-82 win over their opponents.
Kelsey Mitchell led the way with 25 points, with Aliyah Boston adding 19 along with six rebounds and eight assists to help the Fever improve to 10-10 in the WNBA.
Indiana's 59 second-half points marked the most points the franchise has scored in any half this season and tied for their most in any half in the past seven seasons.
Their 99 total points also reflected their second-best scoring output on the season, while their 11 3-pointers were tied for their second most in a game this year.
And Clark, who was 5 of 17 from the field, including 1 of 17 from 3-point range, believes Indiana must use this victory as a foundation to build on moving forward.
"I thought we just played with a really great pace," Clark told ESPN.
"We moved the ball, we cut hard, which opened up the 3-point line for us, and then we knocked down some shots, but also I thought our defence was really good.
"I think it was both sides of the ball. It kind of felt like how we should get back out there and play every single game."
Sophie Cunningham, who had 10 points and 16 rebounds, echoed the sentiments of Clark, while suggesting Indiana are a difficult team to beat when everyone's on song.
"Our team has enough offensive threats that we should have five to six people in double figures every single night when we move the ball," Cunningham added.
"When the ball is popping, we're a really hard team to guard."
Clark, who was making just her second start after missing the last five matches with a groin injury, also ended the game with 12 points and nine assists.
For the season, she is now shooting 37.6% from the field overall and 28.9% from behind the arc, with both those statistics marking a major drop-off from last season.
Among the 35 players taking at least 10 shots per game in the WNBA, Clark's field goal percentage ranks 31st.
But Indiana coach Stephanie White was not concerned.
"I'm not worried about Caitlin's shot," said White. "She's recovering from injury. She plays heavy, hard minutes. Every defensive scout, she's the top of the scouting report.
"So her shot quality that she's getting has not been great.
"We're just so used to her making tough shots, and to be able to do that while she's recovering from injury is going to be more difficult.
"That's part of the reason that we want to try to make her life easier."
