The Indiana Fever and the Phoenix Mercury faced off in an exceptionally intense WNBA game on Sunday. Despite the Mercury maintaining a solid lead throughout most of the game, the Fever made a remarkable comeback in the third quarter, leveling the score.
A particularly heated moment occurred in the first half when a shoving match broke out between the two teams during a pause in the action. Both teams had huddled close to each other, leading to tensions boiling over. Four players ultimately received technical fouls as a result of the altercation.
