The most electric part of the Chicago Sky‘s game against the Indiana Fever on Saturday was the flagrant foul Caitlin Clark committed on Angel Reese. Reese’s actions after the foul caused the refs to call offsetting technicals on Aliyah Boston and Reese.
Clark said during the ABC telecast that she meant nothing malicious by committing a common basketball play to keep an opponent from making an easy basket.
When viewing highlights of the game, a fan noticed Reese committing what should have been called a foul moments before Clark committed the flagrant foul.

Reese only made one of her two free throws off the flagrant, and the Fever wound up routing the Sky 93-58 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Fans reacted to the shove
Fans on social media reacted to the missed call.
“Refs gotta be blind not to see a two handed push from Reese in order to get the rebound,” wrote a fan.
“Reese pushes the fever player in the back out of the way Caitlin Clark points it out to the ref reese then tries to get the layup so Caitlin fouled reese is a dirty player,” posted another.
If only the refs had called the foul on Reese, there might not have been a memorable moment between Clark and Reese during an otherwise boring contest.
