The rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark intensified as the Indiana Fever secured a 91-83 victory over the Chicago Sky in a fiercely contested WNBA matchup. The incident that highlighted the game occurred in the third quarter when Angel Reese smacked Caitlin Clark in the head while attempting to block her shot.

Clark capitalized on the situation by making both free throws, helping to narrow the Fever’s lead. The tension between the Fever and the Sky had already been simmering, fueled by a previous game where Reese’s teammate, Chennedy Carter, committed a hard foul on Clark.
