Caitlin Clark had a historic night. The second-year guard dropped 27 points and dished out 11 assists, becoming the WNBA’s all-time leader in 25-point, 10-assist games. But none of that seemed to matter once the final buzzer sounded in Indianapolis.

The Fever fell 91-90 to the Atlanta Dream, and most of the postgame noise wasn’t about Clark’s performance- it was about who didn’t take the last shot.

With 9.1 seconds left and Indiana trailing by one, head coach Stephanie White called on forward Natasha Howard to take the final attempt. Clark, the team’s undisputed offensive engine, was instead tasked with inbounding the ball. The play ended with Howard missing a mid-range jumper after her initial shot was blocked. Fans didn’t just question the choice, they exploded.

Fans Outraged Over Clark’s Exclusion From Final Play

As the crowd at Gainbridge Fieldhouse watched the final possession unfold, confusion quickly turned to frustration. Online, fans tore into White’s late-game decision-making, especially the choice to leave Clark out of the action.

“Garbage last play call what the f*** was that,” one fan posted, referencing the team’s former head coach.

Another wrote, “CALL A FREAKING TIME OUT!!! Caitlin Clark not taking the last shot? You have the greatest player in basketball right now and you don’t have her take the last shot. We’re doing this again?”

The reactions were pointed and consistent. Fans couldn’t understand why Clark, who had been sharp all night and led the team in scoring and assists, was standing out of the play when it mattered most.

“So the worst shooter on the team gets the ball, and best player stands on the sideline. The worst set up of all time,” one user suggested.

White hasn’t publicly addressed the criticism, but with just two games down in the young 2025 season, she’ll have plenty of time to reassess her late-game strategies.

The Fever and Dream will meet again Thursday night in Atlanta. All eyes will be on how Indiana adjusts, not just to the Dream’s physical defense but to the rising pressure around decision-making in key moments, especially when Clark is having a night like she did Tuesday.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is not the most popular guy on TV. That much was apparent while he was calling the Wild Card game between the Broncos and Bills for CBS on Sunday.

Romo, who has done very little to hide how much he admires Buffalo QB Josh Allen, had some praise for the MVP favorite while he was attempting to take his team to the Divisional Round.

Some fans felt like he was being overly gracious, while some simply couldn’t stand him talking in general.

“STFU AGAIN ROMO!!!!!!!!! I’M TIRED OF YOUR BILLS AND CHIEFS GLAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE SICKENING ASF!!!!!!!!!!” an X user wrote.

“Can we start a petition to ban Romo from calling games,” another asked.

“Can Tony Romo get off his kneees for Josh Allen?” someone else chimed in.

“Tv muted when romo starts talking,” a fan claimed.

Tony Romo’s Partner Reached Impressive Milestone

While Romo was getting slammed, his broadcast colleague touched an impressive milestone.

Jim Nantz has been with CBS for over 40 years and reached his 500th game with the network calling Sunday’s fixture.

Nantz and Romo have been working together for seven of those 40 years.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.

In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.

“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.

Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
