The Indiana Fever may have lost tonight. However, the overall mood of the game in the T-Mobile Arena was jolly. We saw many glimpses where the veteran Olympians of the Las Vegas Aces cheerfully engaged with the freshly minted All-Star Caitlin Clark. But one interaction that almost broke a sweat on the fans’ foreheads was when Kelsey Plum tried to almost body-slam the Fever rookie.
The 2x reigning WNBA champions continued their winning streak as they got the better of the young Indiana. In the final 11 seconds of the game, NaLyssa Smith dribbled the ball to shut the game clock. But in the center, everyone saw Kelsey Plum and Caitlin Clark get into a conversation. However, it ended with the No. 22 guard pretending to tackle the 2022 WNBA All-Star Game MVP. They hugged it out as the teams left for their benches.

While everything was well and good for the players, Caitlin Clark’s fans certainly saw a bump in their heartbeats. But it was a good one. They cheered on the veteran Aces player to show some love to the rookie after she faced negative narratives surrounding her and the WNBA players. A fan took to the video’s comment section expressing what the back-to-back Honda Trophy awardee must have been thinking in those final seconds and also appreciated Plum’s actions there.
“CC still scared y’all are just gonna body slam her 😭thank you KP for showing our girl some love.”
