There’s hardly any Indiana Fever game in which the physicality and officiating against Caitlin Clark aren’t among the talking points. Thursday’s game between the Fever and Dallas Wings was no exception.
Martina Navratilova has not taken kindly to an incident involving WNBA star Caitlin Clark being tackled during the Indiana Fever’s game against the Dallas Wings. The former world No.
The Indiana Fever had the opportunity to qualify for the playoffs on Thursday night itself, but they have instead gifted the Dallas Wings a chance to cement their place in the top half of the table. And apart from Wings head coach Jose Fernandez’s plan of stopping Fever star guard Caitlin Clark’s offense working out to perfection, WNBA analyst Rosalina Lee believes the brutality of the Fever’s scheduling has also played a part in the Fever’s 91-85 loss.
A common theme is developing in the WNBA, with more and more coaches becoming fed up of the outside noise. The Dallas Wings pulled off a close victory over the Indiana Fever, led by an explosive season-high 32 points from Arike Ogunbowale and a career-best 26 points from Jessica Shepard.
The WNBA officials continue to be the spotlight of attention game after game, and the Fever vs the Wings was no different. The Dallas Wings pulled off a 91-85 win over the Indiana Fever, but the basketball took a backseat to physical drama and questionable refs.
