Caitlin Clark outraged after controversial no-call costs Fever the game

The Indiana Fever faced the New York Liberty in a contentious game that took place recently, resulting in a dramatic finish that left star player Caitlin Clark frustrated. Throughout the match, Clark excelled in her playmaking, showing impressive passing skills despite struggling with her shooting. The game came down to the final seconds with the Fever trailing by two points. Clark had the opportunity to tie or potentially win the game, but during her attempt to shoot, she was heavily defended by Liberty player Natasha Cloud. Clark was knocked back as Cloud interfered, but the referees did not call a foul, leading to immediate outrage from Clark. This controversial no-call prevented Clark from reaching a significant personal milestone of 20 points and 10 rebounds in the game. The missed opportunity from the foul would have given her a chance for free throws, potentially altering the game's outcome. As the match concluded, the Liberty secured their first-ever 3-0 start to a season, marking their success as defending champions. In addition to the game's controversy, discussions surfaced regarding the treatment of elite players like Clark in the league.
