‘Refs’: Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese gives opinion on controversial Caitlin Clark flagrant foul
There was no shortage of fireworks between the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever on Saturday. However, a scarcity of offense for the Sky led to a lopsided affair with the Fever winning 93-58 in front of 17,274 fans at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Caitlin Clark went 6-for-13 shooting and 4-for-8 on three-point attempts. Her 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists cooked the Sky, who shot 29.1% overall and went 6-for-27 on three-point attempts. Newcomers Courtney Vandersloot and Kia Nurse were virtually non-existent, combining for eight points on 4-of-17 shooting.
The Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever had a dramatic moment
Reese, who finished with 12 points on 5-of-14 shooting, 17 rebounds (helping set a WNBA record), one assist, and five turnovers, was clearly frustrated while playing on the losing end against her rival from college. Tensions boiled over when Clark committed a foul on Reese with 4:38 remaining in the third quarter to keep Reese from scoring an easy basket.
Reese fell to the floor and immediately popped up to confront Clark. The officials called Clark for a flagrant foul. Reese and the Fever’s Aliyah Boston were called for technicals that were offset.
Clark told the ABC telecast that she didn’t do anything dirty on the play, but wanted to foul Reese to force her to earn two points at the free throw line. Reese only made one of her two attempts.
Reese was upset by the contact Clark made.
Angel Reese on the “refs” call
Following the game, Reese was asked during her press conference about what she thought of the call.
“Basketball play. Refs got it right. Move on,” Reese said.
Reese didn’t think it was a “basketball play” at the time, or she wouldn’t have responded in a way that drew a technical.
But a 35-point loss to Clark and the Fever might make for a humbling postgame presser.
