The Indiana Fever’s season keeps getting better and better. With their win against the Connecticut Sun, Caitlin Clark and Co. improved their record to 4-1 since the Olympic Break.
However, it wasn’t an easy task for the Fever to defeat the Sun. The 84-80 victory was a chirpy battle right from the tip-off, with Dijonai Carrington making it to the headlines for her on-court antics and social media activity after.
Carrington wasn’t a huge fan of the hostile environment that the Fever supporters had created for the visiting team at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
She expressed her opinions regarding the crowd’s behavior in a tweet, calling Indiana fans the “nastiest” among all WNBA fan bases.
“the indiana fever have the nastiest fans in the W. ew,” the 26-year-old wrote.
The 5ft 11 player’s activity on X wasn’t her only run-in with Indiana’s fans.
During the closely contested battle, Carrington triggered the crowd by trying to shush them.
The Fever-Sun clash had multiple highlight plays. However, one particular stretch of three plays is gaining traction like no other.
In the third quarter, Carrington and Clark traded multiple buckets in a span of less than 30 seconds.
First, the 2024 Rookie of the Year contender got the crowd amped up with an impressive step-back three-pointer.
Merely 10 seconds later, Carrington responded with a three-pointer of her own and followed the shot by gesturing the crowd to be silent.
Running the full length of the court, Clark went coast-to-coast and finished this sequence with a tough finish in the paint, with a fan claiming that Carrington fouled the All-Star during this play.
Carrington might’ve become the Fever supporters’ enemy tonight, but she did have an impressive outing. She led her team with 19 points and also recorded two assists and four rebounds.
It was another exciting game between the two sides, but unfortunately, all the Sun-Fever clashes for the regular season are now over.
However, fans will hope for this new rivalry to continue in the postseason.
With the Sun placed at the third spot in the standings and the Fever only 0.5 games behind the #6 Phoenix Mercury, we could be in for a first-round encounter between the Connecticut Sun and the Indiana Fever when the playoffs commence.
