Caitlin Clark and the Indiana fever earned the win against the Chicago Sky on Saturday, but boy, it got physical… including a cheap shot that sent the number one pick to the hardwood, earning applause from the rival Angel Reese!
It was a packed house at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis for the first WNBA game between Reese and Clark… and they picked up right where they left off in college!
The match was intense and the Fever were happy with their second win of the season. Clark wasn’t happy with Angel’s teammate’s body check, Chennedy Carter.
Angel Reese got hyped when he saw Caitlin Clark take a cheap shot 😬

The controversial play went down in the third quarter of the tight game…as Clark waited for the inbounds pass. Out of nowhere, Chennedy pushed Clark so hard that she fell to the ground.
Reese was sitting on the bench at the time, but jumped out of her seat and applauded in response to the hard foul.
Angel also got a piece of Clark… it looked like she threw her arm at CC in the 4th quarter, causing her to fall to the ground again.
Now another Sky player with a cheap shot at Caitlin Clark. Angel Reese with the elbow and then stares down. That’s not basketball. pic.twitter.com/gXwPcaatY8

Despite the physical play, Clark’s Fever won 71-70 – their second victory of the season.
Angel scored 8 points and grabbed 13 points, while Caitlin had 11 points and 8 rebounds.
It’s been a constant theme in the young, most-watched WNBA season… Clark is constantly getting knocked to the ground. So far, this has been broadly allowed to happen.
Clark and the Fever will face the Chicago Sky again on June 16… expect it to be wild again And physical play!
