Fever star Caitlin Clark flirted with shutting down the internet with a near triple-double as she finished with 23 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds as Indiana defeated the Chicago Sky on Sunday, per ESPN.com.
Instead, Clark ended up breaking the internet after she became the subject of another hard foul by the same team that did it weeks ago.
This time, the moment may have been bigger since Angel Reese was involved.
In the game, Reese was called for a flagrant foul after she hit Caitlin Clark in the head as she drove to the basket for a potential layup.
After the game, Reese was upset as she said it was a “basketball play” in which she was trying to block Clark’s shot.
“Basketball play, I can’t control the refs,” she said to reporters. “They affected the game, obviously, a lot tonight.”
