Early Wednesday evening, things heated up in the second game between the Indiana Fever and Connecticut Sun at Mohegan Sun Arena.

In the opening minutes of the game, Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Sun forward DeWanna Bonner got into an argument on the court. As the shot clock expired on an offensive possession and Bonner covered her, Clark attempted a deep three-point shot and fell to the floor after missing the shot.

The two players exchanged words as they walked down the court, with Clark giving Bonner a shove. It seemed as though Clark was not very pleased with the lack of landing space Bonner gave her on the three-point attempt.

From then on, the game continued as no foul was called against either Clark or Bonner.

And that, folks, is a taste of WNBA playoff basketball.

The Fever trailed 1-0 in the best-of-three series and entered the game with a 13-4 lead, but trailed 14-17 after the first quarter.

“Focus on what’s happening on the court, on my four other teammates that are here with me,” Clark told reporter Holly Rowe on the ESPN broadcast after the first quarter, stating her focus for the rest of the game. “I think that’s the most important thing. I thought we got off to a good start, but we can’t let them back in after we got a good lead.”

Clark had six points, four rebounds and three assists in the first quarter, while Bonner had two points and three rebounds.
