Caitlin Clark draws technical for fiery jaw session after draining deep 3

Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Seattle Storm guard Victoria Vivians were whistled for a double technical after they got in each others’ faces during their game on Thursday night.

Opposing defenses have been keyed in on stopping Clark, but she has started to find her shooting stroke over the past couple of games.

In the second quarter on Thursday, Clark had a stretch over about three-and-a-half minutes where she scored eight points on two long 3-pointers — plus a layup in between.

After the latter deep shot, she got in Vivians’ face and the two started jawing at each other.

Clark was restrained by her teammate, Aliyah Boston.

After Clark and Vivians were separated, Clark grinned and then motioned for the Fever crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to get loud.
