New York Liberty visited Kate Rinklerk and Indiana Fever on Saturday. The surviving WNBA champions held the record by winning 90-88.
But much of the chatter after the game was centered around the hosting of the game, especially the close contest for the final 10 seconds. Although it attracted at least three attention in favor of freedom, the ultimate possession of the heat appeared to attract a large portion of the attention.
Clark had the chance for Indiana to pull and tie the two together. However, New York guard Natasha Cloud knocked out the ball from Clark. The umpire did not blow the mouth away for a foul despite a petition from the WNBA ruler Rookie of the Year last year.

The judge's decision in seconds and Clark's response sparked a mixed reaction throughout the sporting world. CBS News New York Sports Anchor and reporter Steve Overmyer added two cents during his recent broadcast.
“In the final play, we come up with the stills that Natasha Cloud won the game. Was it a foul? Let's take a closer look,” Obermeyer said as the momentary replay appeared on the broadcast.
Coach Caitlyn Clark calls on the WNBA for a “bad” host.
“She got all the balls. Clark tried to sell it like he was attacked by a sniper, but there was no foul or a call,” he concluded.

Cloud also blocked a shot from Dewan Nabonner. Some observers claimed that Cloud made contact with Bonner, not just Ball during the play. However, authorities did not call for a foul on the play.
Indiana head coach Stephanie White had trouble with Saturday's host. She described the non-call of “bad” in Bonner's attempt at shots.
“I honestly thought it was terrible. I thought it was obvious,” White said.

White provided a review of the play.
“It was a path for offensive players to the defensive players. We have to be able to get through it, but at the same time, I think it's really rude,” the coach said.
“There's a system that allows us to communicate and communicate complaints, so to speak. I don't know what the system feels like to work. I'm not looking for change, I'm looking for consistency.”
