The New York Liberty defeated the Indiana Fever 90-88 in a thrilling game that saw several disputed calls, including a pivotal play with only seconds left. Caitlin Clark scored 18 points but finished with a turnover and no clear answer on whether she was fouled by Natasha Cloud in the final play.
Clark’s team had taken an 80-68 lead with under nine minutes remaining, but the Liberty stormed back to take the game. Jonquel Jones led the comeback with consecutive three-pointers, while Sabrina Ionescu sealed the win with winning free throws.
“I think it’s pretty egregious what’s been happening to us,” said Fever coach Stephanie White, referring to a minus-31 free throw discrepancy in their last four games. “We’re attacking the rim and getting disrespected.”
The Fever are now 2-2 on the season, while the Liberty improve to 3-0. They face expansion team Golden State next week.
