Caitlin Clark appeared emotionally distraught in the postgame press conference after the Indiana Fever’s 113-96 loss to the Atlanta Dream and archrival Angel Reese.
The superstar had her head down and spoke with a somber tone as she answered for her team’s second-half collapse, claiming all her team did “was foul.” The Fever committed 29 personal fouls in the loss.
“What we did well in the first half was play in transition, spray, find open people. Um, and then it’s really hard to do that when all we do is foul and they score,” Clark said.

Clark also had seven of her team’s 19 turnovers in the game.
“We have to take care of the ball better and that starts with me,” Clark said.
In between the turnovers, Clark also appeared to roll her eyes while White was talking to her during the game, as clips of the moment went viral on social media.
White answered for her team’s foul trouble in the game as well, and didn’t rule out that referees are calling more fouls on them.

“I think a little bit of both,” White said when asked if the foul issues are “correctable” or if it’s “how they’re being called.”
“Obviously, there’s been an emphasis to call a lot of fouls. Freedom of movement’s been an emphasis. We’ve seen foul calls go up altogether. Um, you know, I think individually, um, certainly there are some things that we can do to keep ourselves from being as vulnerable and collectively there are some things that we can do to have each other’s back so we’re not in those positions.”

Clark had several emotional moments throughout the game.
In the first quarter, Clark brought the ball up the floor and, after being fouled near the top of the key by the Dream’s Jordin Canada, Reese took a swipe at the ball in her hands. Clark took exception to the act and eventually waved Reese off. The exchange came about a minute after Clark drilled a 3-pointer in Reese’s face.
It marked Clark and the Fever’s second loss to Reese’s Dream in a three-day span, after the Dream won a Thursday meeting in Indiana 108-101.
The Fever are now 9-7 and continue to play below the expectations the team had going into the season.
Clark finished the game with 26 points, three rebounds and seven assists.

Reese meanwhile recorded her 1,000th career rebound today in her 79th career game, 10 games faster than any other player in WNBA history.
The Dream are 11-4 and in first place in the WNBA’s Eastern Conference.
