Reese got up from the floor and entered the face of Clark.
The judges looked at the play and decided Clark used her left hand to sky rees on the floor. They upgraded the personal mistake of Clark to an obvious error. And Reese and Aliyah Boston from the fever were issued technical errors.
“Nothing malicious about it, just a good one wrong,” Clark told Espns Holly Rowe.
It seemed to be another chapter in the rivalry between Clark and Reese.
The two had an intense rivalry in their time in Women’s College Basketball. Clark talked about the importance of defeating rivals on the floor before the game against Chicago.

“Rivalities are real, and that’s what makes sports so amazing,” Clark told ESPN. “There are certain teams that these games just mean a little more. [We] come out here and play the same way every night but [a rivalry] Get the fans involved and they love it. “
Clark’s story with heaven began last season.
Clark took a series of questionable violations from Reese’s Sky throughout the 2024 season, including one from Reese June 16.
Clark also took a notorious illegal hip check from Chicago Sky Forward Chennedy Carter on June 1st. Then, at the end of August, Chicago’s Diamond Deshields made a fierce mistake on Clark that went flying across the floor. Foul was later upgraded to an obvious violation, and Deshields later sent screens of hate messages she had received from the bad.

But Clark’s team prevailed and took three of the four meetings between the teams last year, which were among the most watched WNBA competitions throughout the season.
The sky and fever meet five times in 2025.
