Caitlin Clark Throws Shade at WNBA Refs for Controversial Call in Fever-Dream

The Indiana Fever secured their 19th victory of the season on Sunday after a 104-100 overtime win against the Atlanta Dream.

Led by Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark, the Fever were down by as much as 13 in the third quarter but found a way to come back. They forced overtime after Boston made a shot in the last minute to tie the game.

Boston finished with a team-high of 30 points and 13 rebounds. Clark added 26 points and 12 assists.

In the second quarter, the referees blew the whistle on a questionable backcourt violation call where forward NaLyssa Smith appeared to receive a pass from Clark just as she established legal position over the halfcourt line.

Many fans believed the call was incorrect and were upset that it counted as a turnover for Clark on the box score.

After the game, Clark shared her opinion on the call, agreeing with the fans that it wasn't a backcourt.

"I thought a lot of [the turnovers] were unforced," Clark said. "Whether it was dribbling off the leg, backcourt violation, which was not a backcourt violation. You all saw it. I don't understand. I don't know, but it's not a backcourt violation."

Clark and the Fever now find themselves back up to two games above .500. Since the WNBA's return from the Olympic break, the Fever have been one of the hottest teams in the league, winning eight of their last ten games.

They will be back in action on Wednesday, September 11, when Clark's former Iowa teammate Kate Martin and the Las Vegas Aces come to Indianapolis.
