Caitlin Clark<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Indiana Fever<\/a>\u00a0continued on their winning streak when they picked up their second win following the Olympic break after beating the Seattle Storm 92-75.<\/p>\n

The game did not go off without its fair share of controversy.<\/p>\n

The biggest headline from the game was Caitlin Clark breaking the\u00a0WNBA<\/a>\u00a0rookie assist record, but it would become a footnote to what happened to her in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

Clark picked up her fifth technical foul on the season after the Indiana Fever star let her frustrations boil over when she struck the backboard after missing 3 in Sunday\u2019s game vs. Seattle.<\/p>\n

After the game, Caitlin Clark spoke to reporters and stated that the ref who gave her the technical foul had some harsh words for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a technical for basically being mad at myself because I missed a 3, and then I went and hit the backboard, and he told me it was disrespectful to the game of basketball,\u201d Clark said after Indiana\u2019s 92-75 win over the Storm on Sunday, per\u00a0Indy Star.\u00a0<\/a>It reminded me of the technical I got in college, where I said \u2018damn it,\u2019 where it\u2019s like a personal frustration. Had nothing to do with my team, had nothing to do with the reffing, had nothing to do with the other team. It\u2019s just because I\u2019m a competitor, and I felt like I should have been making more shots, so\u2026<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
