Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark was furious when an offensive foul was called against her late in Wednesday night’s game against the Las Vegas Aces, halting her team’s comeback.

NaLyssa Smith’s free throws reduced the Fever’s deficit to six points.

As Clark drove into the box against Aces guard Chelsea Gray, Clark collided with Gray as she went to shoot to provoke a foul. Instead, Clark was called for an offensive foul and was angry. Clark’s Fever teammates had to calm her down to avoid a technical foul.

The game highlighted that the rookie had a difficult night shooting. She scored 16 points on 6 of 22 shooting from the field. She made 1 of 10 three-pointers. Kelsey Mitchell led Indiana with 24 points.

The Aces won the game 86-75.
