Reese got out of the floor and got into Clark’s face.
The referees looked at the work and determined that Clark used their left hand to take Reese to the floor. They updated the personal lack of Clark to a flagrant fault. And Reese and Aliyah Boston of fever received technical faults.
“Nothing malicious about it, just a good shot,” Clark told Holly Rowe from ESPN.
It seemed to be another chapter in the rivalry between Clark and Reese.
The two had an intense rivalry during their time in women’s university basketball. Clark talked about the importance of defeating the rivals on the floor before the match against Chicago.

“The rivalries are real, and that is what makes sports so incredible,” Clark told ESPN. “There are certain teams that these games mean a little more. [We] Come here and play in the same way every night, but [a rivalry] It involves fans and loves. “
Clark’s story with heaven began last season.
Clark took a series of questionable fouls of Reese’s Sky during the 2024 season, including one of Reese on June 16.
Clark also received an infamous illegal hip check from Chicago striker Sky Chennedy Carter on June 1. Then, at the end of August, the Diamond Deshields of Chicago committed a hard foul on Clark, which flew down the floor. The fault was updated later to a flagrant violation, and Deshields then published catches of hate messages that he had received from the fault.

But Clark’s team prevailed, taking three of the four meetings between the teams last year, which were among the most seen WNBA competitions throughout the season.
Heaven and fever are five times in 2025.
