Following a hot start coming out of the Olympic break, the Indiana Fever have now lost two of their last three games after an 86-75 defeat against the Las Vegas Aces on Wednesday night.
Caitlin Clark did not have her best performance, notching 16 points on 6-of-22 shooting and 1-of-10 from three and six assists. A’ja Wilson showed why she is the MVP frontrunner, scoring 27 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.
In a postgame press conference, Clark revealed that she was not happy with the officiating throughout the game, mentioning a few calls that surprised her.
“The offensive fouls are definitely surprising at times,” Clark said. “I feel like I do get held and get quite a bit of contact throughout the games, and then you get hit with some of those when you take some contact and give contact back. It is what it is. I don’t know. Apparently, they [WNBA refs] see something different.”
The Fever finished the game with 19 team fouls, five more than the Aces’ 14. Clark went on to discuss her teammate Aliyah Boston getting into foul trouble in the third quarter.
“And then, we have to use our challenge to try to let [Aliyah Boston] not have a fifth foul in the third quarter that basically takes her out of the game,” Clark added. “We lose a challenge, we lose a timeout. So that’s tough as well.”
Boston did not finish the game after picking up her sixth foul with just one minute remaining. She missed eight minutes of game time between the third and fourth quarters due to her foul trouble.
Clark has seen a lot of physical defense during her rookie season, and that continued against a veteran-filled Aces squad. But the physicality will only get more intense come playoff time.
