The referees determined that Clark’s fault had crossed the line of a natural basketball because she had used her left hand to push Reese to the ground. The referees also gave Boston a technical fault.
“I have technology? Oh, no!” She said at the post-match press conference.
Boston continued to be shocked while Clark explained the fault on Reese.
“Let’s not do something that is not,” said Clark. “It was just a good game on basketball. I don’t know what the referee saw to upgrade it, and it is their discretion. It is a fault to put them on the line of free throws. I looked a lot of basketball in my life, that’s exactly what it was. I was not trying to do anything malicious. It is not the type of player I am.”
