With the game tied at 89 apiece in the final minute of the game, Griner fouled Fever forward Aliyah Boston as she was going up for a shot, granting Boston two free throws. The former South Carolina standout missed the first but hit the second, giving Indiana a one-point lead.

Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark says it was too loud inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse for her to hear racial comments from fans directed at Angel Reese during Saturday’s season-opening 93-58 victory over the Chicago Sky and that she supports the WNBA’s investigation.

With nine seconds remaining, White drew up a play that had Clark passing the ball in from the sideline. She hit center Natasha Howard in the post, who had her shot blocked by the Dream's Nia Coffey. Howard was able to corral the offensive rebound before missing a separate 12-foot shot, ultimately ending the game.
