Tensions were raised at the start between Indiana fever and Atlanta’s dream on Thursday evening.
The two teams were withdrawn from 48 hours from a battle that went down to the last seconds, which the dream won, 91-90. So maybe there was a postponement.
With less than 30 seconds to do at the first quarter, Caitlin Clark and Rhyne Howard exchanged words and had to be separated. Howard played a full -fledged defense on Clark, who dribbed the court.

The referees whistled the game and both came up against. The two seemed to prolong an arm, and Clark began to move away from the situation before Howard took a step forward. But one of Howard’s teammates quickly intervened and led Howard.
“I’m not afraid of you,” said Clark, and she was supported by her teammates.
Despite the time tense on Thursday, they shared a funny earlier this month in pre-season, when Howard joked in Clark’s ear after their exhibition, causing Clark’s laugh.

It was a slow night overall for Clark, who had only six points before the fourth quarter. She collected 27 points two nights earlier against Atlanta.
Indiana followed, 75-71, with just over two minutes, but it ended the match on a 10-1 race. Clark added five points to the fourth quarter to finish with 11.
Clark’s teammate Natasha Howard paved the way with 26 points, while Rhyne Howard lost 24.
The fight between Clark and Howard came five days after Clark and Angel Reese had to be separated. Clark was called to a blatant fault on Reese, which then had words for Clark.
The incident sparked an investigation into hateful comments alleged against Reese by fans of the game. Reese republished a Tiktok who said that she was “dangerous” playing in Indiana.
