An awkward silence on the air occurred during the ESPN broadcast of the AS match of the Indiana Fever-Las Vegas Sunday after analyst Rebecca Lobo said: “This is what makes America great.”
Lobo’s comment was in reference to saying that she disagreed with the officials who made a big call in the last minute of the victory of AS 89-81 on fever.
“They do not agree with you,” Pam Ward, Play-By-Pam advertiser said to his partner Lobo.

“They do it, and I do not agree with them,” replied Lobo. “And that’s good. This is what makes America great, not Pam Ward?”
After asking this question, there was a long silence between the two before Lobo said: “I should rephrase this”, what Ward replied: “Yes”.
Ward, then, suggested that Lobo says “opinion difference”, which she accepted. She even said “Sorry for that” before continuing to call the game.
Caitlin Clark’s cold cold sequence continues while the fever collapses in the fourth quarter in the aces
The fever led by Caitlin Clark had broken down for the second consecutive match, while the recruit of the reigning year of the WNBA had trouble drawing from the line to three points.
After being 0 for 7 in the defeat against the Golden State Valkyries last Thursday, Clark was only 1 per 10 in Las Vegas. Although she could not find the long -term blow, the aces returned to the fourth quarter to beat the fever, which led during the first three periods of the match.

Clark went 7 out of 20 on the field with four free throws for a total of 19 points.
Meanwhile, the MVP of the Triple A’ja Wilson League and its 24 points for the match began to take over on their home at home in times of crisis.
Securized with Jackie Young (19 points, seven rebounds, five assists, three interceptions) and Chelsea Gray (18 points, three rebounds, three assists), Wilson and the Aces have ahead of a fourth quarter to run away with victory.
While Clark had a hard time with his sweater in this match, the fever saw major contributions from the top scorer of the match, Aliyah Boston, who had 26 out of 12 shots, and Kelsey Mitchell, who had a big piece of his 20 points in the fourth quarter to keep Indiana in the match.

However, after the three Mitchell points attached things to 69 each with five minutes to play, the Aces attached themselves and began to retire, thanks to certain key baskets from Young, Wilson and Gray.
The calendar of the west coast continues for fever with a last match against the Seattle storm on Tuesday before returning home.
