Caitlin Clark’s Funny Reaction To Referee’s ‘No Call’
The game was one-sided, with the hosts taking control right from the start. Though Sky scored the first bucket, that was the only time they had a lead in the whole match. Obviously, the Fever bench and fans enjoyed the ‘dominance’. Yet, the 2024 rookie was not happy with the officiating and constantly reminded referees to give fouls.
