The temperatures broke out several times during the victory of Indiana fever against Connecticut Sun on Tuesday, Caitlin Clark being again at the center of the getaways.
Clark and the Sun Guardian Jacy Sheldon became Chippy at the start of the match, but it was only in the third quarter that the tensions have passed. Sheldon pushed Clark into his eyes, and he triggered a skirmish that ended with the Marina Mabrey solar guard pushing Clark on the ground.

Clark, for any reason, was evaluated a technical fault during the incident, just like Mabrey and the veteran of the sun Tina Charles. Sheldon’s common fault has been upgraded to a blatant.
It was not the only incident because the fever of the Sophie Cunningham fever delivered a hard fault to Sheldon, who reacted angrily. There was a ton of push and push along the baseline and the officials then expelled Cunningham, Sheldon and Lindsay Allen.
Head coach Stephanie White was not too satisfied with the officials after the match. She said that she had not received any explanation of the technical fault on Clark and had put the burden on the officials to take control of the game at its beginnings.
“I think it was quite obvious that things were preparing,” said White, via Indy Star. “When the officials do not take control of the ball game, when they allow these kinds of things … It happens all the season, all season. It is not only this game.

“This is what is happening. You have competitive women who are the best in the world in what they do and when you allow them to play physical, and you allow these things to happen, they will compete, and they will have the back of their teammates. This is exactly what you expect from fierce competition.
“I started talking to those responsible for the first quarter, and we knew it was going to happen. You knew it was going to happen. They had to take control. They must be better. They must be better.”

The crew chief Ashley Gross spoke to a swimming pool journalist after the match and was asked about Clark’s technical fault.
“After Sheldon’s fault, Clark reacted in an antactive manner,” said GOSS.
White said each coach raises officiating problems during the League meetings and understands that work becomes more difficult, but officials must find a way to remedy their calls with the league constantly evolving.
“The game has changed so much. The players are faster, they are better, they are bigger, they are stronger, they are as good as they have ever been, as athletic as they have ever been. The game is fast now. Things happen quickly,” said White. “Everyone is improving, except officials. So we have to find a way to remedy it.
“We heard each coach talk about it. I don’t know what is the answer.”
Indiana won the 88-71 match.
