The rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese broke WNBA viewership records, and the most recent game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky became the most-watched game of all time.
“The Indiana Fever’s 91-83 victory over the Chicago Sky on Sunday was the league’s most-watched game in more than two decades.” Daily Mail“This highly anticipated matchup averaged 2.25 million viewers, a 225% increase over last season’s average game.”

Viewers hoping to see the rivalry between Clark and Reese heat up got exactly that in the third quarter when Reese hit Clark in the head diving for the basket. Reese was assessed a flagrant 1 point for a clear foul, which she protested.
“I thought we played really hard inside,” Reese said. Said After the game, he said: “I think we came out really strong and we had a lot of calls that didn’t come through. And looking back at the film, there were a lot of things that didn’t get called. I think some guys got special whistles, but we just played our best.”
“I’m proud of Camila for going out there and getting a double-double. No matter what the officiating is, you guys can’t stop that. We’ve been here a while. No matter what you guys do, we won’t be stopped. Our goal is to win, we’ll do whatever it takes to win and we’re going to keep doing that,” she added.
ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith supported the Flagrant 1 call.
“I’ll say it: That was a basketball play,” Smith told ESPN. First Take On Monday. “Yes, Angel Reese is right.”
