Clark had commented "Elite bench mob" and "Refs couldn't stop us" on a Fever's Instagram post that showed her celebrating Thursday's series-clinching win. Fever guard Sophie Cunningham joked that she would start a GoFundMe campaign to pay for Clark's fine. Clark was a visible presence on the sideline as Aliyah Boston's late basket and Lexie Hull's game-clinching steal helped the Fever close out an 87-85 win. The victory allowed the Fever to claim the franchise's first playoff series win since 2015. Clark's comment wasn't the first time officiating has been a focus during the series between the Fever and Dream.
