Caitlin Clark made a critical 3-pointer to give the Indiana the lead later in the fourth quarter to help the Fever defeat the Chicago Sky.
Caitlin Clark encountered another physical defense during the Indiana Fever's hotly contested matchup with the Chicago Sky on Sunday in Indianapolis. But Clark still managed to score 23 points and helped lead Indiana to a second consecutive victory. Clark's teammate Aliyah Boston delivered another strong performance as she recorded her third consecutive double-double. The Fever improved to 5-10 on the season.
On June 1, Carter made a basket late in the third quarter. She then shifted to defense and began guarding Clark, who was attempting to get open to receive an inbound pass. Reese faced some criticism for appearing to celebrate after Carter committed the foul. While referees determined Carter committed a common foul, the WNBA later upgraded it to a flagrant 1 violation after a review. Reese was also fined for not fulfilling her postgame media obligations.
But at one point during Sunday's game, Carter appeared to show some sportsmanship by helping Clark stay upright. There were several heated moments during the rematch, including Clark smacking Dana Evans’ arm after Evans hooked Clark in the first half. In the third quarter, Reese's right arm hit Clark in the head. Officials reviewed the play and upgraded it to a flagrant 1. Fans cheered Carter and Reese each time either drew a foul. Reese nearly lost her temper when she was called for No.
Indiana would go on to build a 47-43 lead with a 12-6 run to close the first half. Marina Mabrey scored eight points in a 12-4 spurt to open the second half to give the Sky a 55-51 lead. But the Fever charged back, taking a 58-57 lead. Clark knocked down a clutch 3-pointer with just over three minutes remaining in the game, and the Fever eventually celebrated a 91-83 win.
