The feud between Clark and Reese dates back to last year's women's college basketball season when Reese taunted Clark at the end of the national championship game as her LSU team defeated Iowa. However, Clark and Iowa had their moment of redemption this April when they eliminated LSU from March Madness to advance to the Final Four.

The intensity of the bitter rivalry was evident earlier this month when Reese openly celebrated fellow Sky teammate Chennedy Carter after Carter called a non-basketball foul on Clark that was later upgraded to a flagrant foul by the WNBA league office.

Despite the Sky's 4-8 record and the Fever's 4-10 record, the game had all the intensity of a playoff game, fueled in part by the animosity between Clark and Reese.

At the end of the third quarter, the Fever held a slim 68-66 lead over the Sky. Clark contributed 18 points, five rebounds and five assists, while Reese had nine points, 11 rebounds and four assists.

The ongoing rivalry between these two teams and the personal animosity between the players promises continued drama and intensity in their future encounters.
