Late into the game's second half, Fever coach Stephanie White picked up a technical foul, which immediately got some love from Fever superstar guard Caitlin Clark, who wasn't playing as she heals up from an injury.

The loss amplified a lack of late-game resolve that had plagued the Fever even after Clark's return. Indiana was talented, no doubt, but it struggled to maintain leads and weather adversity in crunch time. Losing Clark again and losing to the Sparks in the same day cemented that this Fever team just couldn't catch a break.

"I need a Aari McDonald jersey," wrote Haliburton. The Olympic Gold medalist and two-time NBA All-Star has been a frequent supporter of Clark and the Fever, receiving the same treatment from Clark whom at one point was the Pacers' good luck charm during the playoffs.
