00:18but was quickly held back by fever forward Aaliyah Boston.

00:22Kaitlyn Clark ended up with a flag or one foul on the play,

00:24and Reese and Boston were both given technical fouls.

00:27After the game, both Reese and Clark played down the foul, saying it was just a basketball play.

00:41Nothing malicious about it. It's just a good take foul. Every basketball player knows that.

00:52after the flag or foul took place.
