you
So referee must have saw contact with the left hand there.
It's a kind of a late reaction, but he calls it,
and that's what he's saying, and that's what they did.
1.1 seconds left.
So now the Sparks, who are down one, have life
because they got their foul with a decent amount of time left on the clock.
Kaitlin Clark doesn't like it.
She doesn't like that ref.
She thinks he fucking sucks.
She's not into it at all.
1.1 seconds left.
Now if they foul, it sends the fever to the line,
so they're looking to do that again, and bam, they get it.
Okay, 0.4 seconds left, but they go to the line.
They can make two.
They can make it a three-point game.
They're still not happy about it, and Kaitlin Clark isn't happy at all.
She says, yeah, way to start the clock.
Good job.
It's not a foul if they don't touch.
No, it's not.
Anyway, spin the ball, bounce, bounce, spin, bounce, shoot, miss.
Second shot.
Shoot, miss.
They grab it, but surely the clock ran out.
Oh, wait, no.
There's another whistle.
It's not final because this guy says we have a reset timeout.
So in WNBA, they have a rule called a reset timeout.
You can call it if there's more than 0.3 seconds remaining.
As soon as you get possession, you call timeout.
You do not get to huddle with your coach,
but you get to advance the ball to half court for an inbound,
and everyone's like, what?
What are we doing?
And she says, I told him, if we get possession to call timeout,
I'm a good coach.
Kaitlin Clark's like, what is going on?
And then they're just stunned.
Look at all these faces, just like unbelievable.
And then she realizes, hey, don't foul.
No, no, no.
Coach, tell them.
Don't foul.
Don't foul.
Hey, don't foul.
Don't foul.
So we got 0.1 seconds left, and the Sparks have a chance to win.
It was 1.9.
A lot happened while nothing happened.
Can they pull this off?
Can they do it?
It would be a miracle.
They get the shot.
It's blocked.
They don't.
It's over.
And Kaitlin Clark's like, oh, what are you doing?
Huh?
You gave those motherfuckers chances to win.
What's your deal?
Meanwhile, Fever fans are pumped up, looking great.
Is this a cell phone?
Are they making flip phones, or is that like a makeup thing?
It looks like there's a camera on there, but I'm not familiar.
Are flip phones back, or is this old?
Please let me know.
Either way, Kaitlin Clark, happy, because they got the win, and she got to yell at the
refs, which I think she likes doing.
