Angel Reese blamed the referees for the Sky’s loss to the Indiana Fever

Angel Reese: Some people have a special whistle
Reese, who notched a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds, committed the foul during the third quarter as Clark drove to the rim.
Attempting to block Clark’s layup, Reese’s arm made contact with Clark’s head, causing Clark to fall to the floor.
The play was reviewed and upgraded to a Flagrant 1 foul due to the “unnecessary” contact as defined by the WNBA rulebook.
“It was a basketball play,”Reese explained postgame.
“I can’t control the refs. They affected the game obviously a lot today. I’m always going for the ball. Y’all are going to play that clip 20 times before Monday.”
Reese further expressed her frustration with the officiating.
“Going back and looking at the film, I’ve seen a lot of calls that weren’t made. I guess some people have a special whistle,” she remarked.

Despite the officiating woes, Reese acknowledged the need for her team to focus on improvement.
“I think we just have to get back to the drawing board and figure things out. I think we were playing really hard [on the inside]. I’m proud of Kamilla [Cardoso] going out and getting a double-double.”
Kamilla Cardoso, like Reese, also recorded a double-double, finishing with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Clark on Angel Reese: We’re competitors
The Sky’s combined efforts weren’t enough to secure a win against a formidable Fever team led by Clark.
Clark, who scored 23 points on 7-of-11 shooting and added nine assists and eight rebounds, once again showcased her talent.
The rivalry between Reese and Clark, which dates back to their college days, added an extra layer of intensity to the game.
Clark acknowledged the competitive spirit between them, saying, “That’s what makes it fun. We’re competitors. That’s the way the game should be. It’s going to get a little feisty, it’s going to get physical, but at the end of the day both teams are just trying to win.”

“I think it’s just the emotion and the passion that we play with. I think people love to see that and I think that’s maybe not something that was always appreciated in womens sports.” pic.twitter.com/bIJqBIsLKA
