The Indiana Fever took care of business on Monday night. Indiana overcame an ugly first quarter to secure an 86-77 victory against Phoenix. This game will be remembered for the series of technical fouls issued early in the fourth quarter. One Fever player was not happy with how that sequence was handled by the referees.

Fever guard Caitlin Clark did not hold back when talking about the officiating in Monday’s win over the Mercury.

“It’s ridiculous, I got a technical for clapping,” Clark said when asked about her technical foul, per Chloe Peterson of IndyStar. “We should all just go on the calendar now and pick a game I’m going to be suspended for if I’m going to get technicals for clapping.”

Clark has now received a total of five technical fouls so far this season. She is just three technical fouls away from earning an automatic one-game suspension per WNBA rules.

She received a technical foul after a clash with DeWanna Bonner late in the contest. Players from both teams were involved, with Sophie Cunningham getting into it with Bonner. The Fever also lost Myisha Hines-Allen, who was ejected after receiving two technical fouls after shoving Alyssa Thomas during all of the chaos.

As for Clark, she received a technical foul for clapping after her teammates got involved in the scuffle.

Clark played a great game against the Mercury. She logged 24 points and nine assists, leading all players in scoring. Kelsey Mitchell also had a big game, scoring 22 points after going 8-of-20 from the field.

It will be fascinating to see if there is any bad blood between the two teams in their next game.
