Stephanie White Has Strong Message for Officials After Fever Playoff Loss

On Tuesday, Sept. 23 the Las Vegas Aces bounced back in a big way from their Game 1 loss to the Indiana Fever in the WNBA semifinals with a 90-68 blowout victory over the Caitlin Clark-less Fever.

Physicality was the main topic from Tuesday night's game, following a recent trend of tough play that Aces head coach Becky Hammon likened to an NFL game.

"It feels like a physical game every game," Indiana guard Lexie Hull, who finished with 15 points, said after the game. "It feels like it's been a physical season. I feel like I've been on the ground a little bit more this series so far. We just keep getting back up."

Fever head coach Stephanie White was a bit more blunt, suggesting the Fever couldn't get into a rhythm offensively due to the officials calling a foul "every 10 seconds."

"Well, it's hard for us to find flow when there is a foul call every 10 seconds. I mean, it just really is. And when they're at the free throw line, we can't get up and down the floor. And that's a challenge," White said before admitting the Aces played a part as well.
