Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever continued on their winning streak when they picked up their second win following the Olympic break after beating the Seattle Storm 92-75.

The game did not go off without its fair share of controversy.

The biggest headline from the game was Caitlin Clark breaking the WNBA rookie assist record, but it would become a footnote to what happened to her in the third quarter.

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’s game vs. Seattle.

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.

“I 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,” Clark said after Indiana’s 92-75 win over the Storm on Sunday, per Indy Star. It reminded me of the technical I got in college, where I said ‘damn it,’ where it’s 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’s just because I’m a competitor, and I felt like I should have been making more shots, so…

“But I think he fired me up to continue to play a lot harder. I thought we got a lot better after that. I want to thank him for that. But overall, I thought once we got to that media timeout around 5 minutes in the third quarter, I thought we all kind of took a breath. It was all chaos there for 2 ½ minutes. I think I could have done a better job of regaining my cool, but that’s like the fire and passion that just gets me going, it’s just finding a way to channel that, use that, and I think I did a real good job of that at the end of the third quarter, the start of the fourth quarter.”

Clark, who leads the WNBA in assists at 8.3 per game, had 9 on Sunday and passed Ticha Penicheiro’s previous rookie record of 224 which was set in 1998.

Indiana, seventh in the WNBA standings, is now 13-15 on the year.

Caitlin Clark Facing One Game Suspension

Caitlin Clark might be the Draymond Green of the WNBA, just without the unnecessary violence, and she can actually shoot the basketball.

Indiana Fever has always been known as a fiery player, and this has gotten her in trouble with the refs many times.

On Sunday, her team may have won, but she also received her fifth technical of the year.

Two more technical fouls, and she will trigger an automatic one-game suspension

That would come at a bad time, as the team is in the thick of things trying to make the playoffs.

Norwegian pole vaulter Embla Matilde Njerve has been trending online during the current Olympic Games, but fans will likely be embarrassed after finding something out.

Pole vaulters have been a popular show at these games, and not just for their pole vaulting prowess. One athlete went viral after his shaft prevented him from qualifying by latching onto the bar, while another did the rounds because she celebrated by twerking.

Pole vaulting is done at the Olympics, with Mondo Duplantis of Sweden winning the men’s competition and Australian Nina Kennedy winning the women’s. Still, Njerve is the one who’s been attracting most of the attention on social media.
