Sporting Tribune reporter Arion Armeniakos said Caitlin Clark spoke to the Aces’ bench after a foul call with about 34 seconds left in the third quarter of Indiana’s Game 1 loss. He reported A’ja Wilson was first to rise and react, followed by the rest of the bench.
Clark had 15 points and 10 assists for her first playoff double-double, but shot 6-for-17 and committed six turnovers. Wilson scored a playoff career-high 38 points on 15-for-19 shooting, with 16 rebounds, two steals and four blocks.
After the loss, Clark called the team’s play sloppy and gave its defense an “F.” Game 2 was set for Indiana on Sept. 29.
