Angel Reese had to be held back by a referee after clashing with Caitlin Clark.
The Chicago Sky superstar was driving for the basket when she was shoved to the ground by bitter rival Caitlin Clark.
Indiana Fever sensation Clark drew a flagrant foul and Reese was left fuming after hitting the hardwood.
She leapt to her feet and went for her college foe, who was protected by her teammates.
Reese and Clark’s teammate Aliyah Boston received offsetting technical fouls for their parts in the melee.
At the time of the play, the Fever were up 56-42 on home court midway through the third quarter.
Fans packing into the arena hoping for fireworks were treated early as Reese made a lay-up before Clark shot her first three of the season from the logo in reply, letting rip from 28 feet on a fastbreak.
There was so much hype for this contest that fans were seen lining up outside the official merchandise store six hours before tip-off.
Several Indiana Pacers were in the building to support their W counterparts.
“She’s just so amazing at what she does. I love being here to support her,” said Tyrese Haliburton of Clark.
Even all-time great LeBron James got in on the act.
He shared photos of him and the Indiana icon on Instagram with the caption ‘Good luck and DO YOU per usual this season!!!’
