A frustrated Caitlin Clark didn’t hold back in expressing her dissatisfaction with the WNBA referees after her Indiana Fever fell to the Seattle Storm on Thursday night. x
Despite another strong performance by Clark, the Fever lost 103-88, extending their losing streak to three games.
With this defeat, Indiana’s record dropped to 1-8 as they head into Saturday’s home game against the Chicago Sky.
Clark finally addressed the non-calls and shared her frustration with the officiating, according to Dominic Miranda of WTHR:
“I feel like I’m getting hammered. I appreciate (head coach) Christie (Sides) getting a tech. I just…I don’t know.”
Head coach Christie Sides received a technical foul after confronting the officials about a non-call on a play where Clark drove to the basket.

Replays showed that Clark was clearly fouled and should have been awarded a pair of free throws.
Clark finished the night with 20 points, three rebounds, nine assists (a single-game best), and one block.
She was 3-of-8 from beyond the arc and made all five of her free throws.
Through her first nine WNBA games, the 22-year-old Clark is averaging 17.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game.
The first overall pick of this year’s draft is shooting 32.0 percent from downtown.
The three-game homestand has been challenging for the Fever, but they will try to turn things around tomorrow afternoon when Chicago comes to town.
Saturday will mark the first of four regular-season meetings between Indiana and Chicago.
The Sky (3-3) currently hold the No. 8 seed and final playoff spot, but the Fever can quickly gain ground if they can secure the season series against Angel Reese and company.
