Things have gotten pretty heated during the Indiana Fever’s return game against the Phoenix Mercury.

After jumping out to a 20-point lead to start the game, the Mercury stormed back to within ten points at the end of the third quarter. But there has been a lot of jawing between the two teams, which has led to four technical fouls being handed out.

One instance that grabbed fans’ attention came with under two minutes remaining in the second quarter when Caitlin Clark fouled Kahleah Copper to prevent her from getting an easy layup

Copper was visibly upset with the play by Clark and started yapping at her. Her Phoenix teammate had to hold her back, and it didn’t escalate to anything afterward.

Fans caught Clark’s response to Copper’s angered reaction, and everyone read her lips the exact same way.

“It’s just a foul,” Clark supposedly said to Copper.

“LMAO KAH got mad at the foul. Caitlin was confused and said ‘what it’s just a foul'”

“copper got heated and cc really said ‘it’s just a foul’ lmaaaaoo”

“IT’S JUST A FOUL”

“Kahleah Copper did not like that foul from Caitlin Clark and cursed her out right there. ‘It’s just a foul,’ Clark replied.”

“‘It’s just a foul’ – Caitlin Clark to someone who wanted to fight her”

“Caitlin Clark says ‘it’s just a foul!’ After someone wanted to fight her for fouling”

In the third quarter, another intense moment occurred when Kelsey Mitchell and Natasha Cloud got into a heated argument, and they had to be separated. Both players received a technical foul for this exchange.

This game has given fans all they wanted and more as the season is back underway.
