Stephanie White explains her priority after Caitlin Clark’s costly playoff technical

During a crucial playoff matchup between the Indiana Fever and Las Vegas Aces, Fever star Caitlin Clark received an offensive foul and a subsequent technical for waving off an official while her squad faced an early nine-point deficit. Indiana coach Stephanie White prioritized keeping her guard emotionally steady and focused on upcoming possessions rather than arguing about the whistle, helping the team orchestrate a successful first-half turnaround.

The Fever ultimately rallied for a 99-89 victory to force a decisive Game 3, powered by 27 points and 15 assists from Clark, 26 points from Kelsey Mitchell, and 22 points from Aliyah Boston. While the technical foul could trigger a five-hundred-dollar penalty for Clark unless the league intervenes, White's immediate concern remained managing her player's composure as the franchise fights to stay alive in the postseason.
