Thursday marked the second meeting of the WNBA season between the Indiana Fever and Atlanta Dream. It gave fans another chance to watch Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark compete against each other. An incident in the second quarter drew a lot of attention.
The two-time All-Star center sagged off her defense on Aliyah Boston, who stood beyond the 3-point line. She and Clark bumped into each other while the Fever star guard tried to get across to the other side. The referee called a foul on Reese, and she mocked Clark for foul baiting.
