The Indiana Fever's showdown against the Connecticut Sun got chippy and increasingly heated late in the game, leading to Caitlin Clark getting shoved and falling to the floor.

Midway through the third quarter, Clark was trying to force her way past Jacy Sheldon. However, the Sun guard appeared to poke the Fever playmaker in the face, causing some pain as Clark lost the ball.

Sheldon then proceeded to bump Clark, who responded by pushing her away. After seeing that, Marina Mabrey came to her teammate's defense and proceeded to hit the Fever sharpshooter from the side.

As players from both sides came to help their teammates, Lexie Hull was seen confronting Sheldon for what she did.

Fans took notice of Hull's actions and quickly heaped praise on her for stepping up to protect Clark.
