Indiana Fever guards Caitlin Clark <\/a>and Sophie Cunningham<\/a> had the time of their lives during Tuesday’s WNBA playoffs<\/a> matchup against the Atlanta Dream.<\/p>\n

After dropping Game 1, the Fever were finally back at home in front of their home crowd. The energy was good. The vibes were vibing. Everyone was hyped, including Clark and Cunninham, despite not playing due to injuries<\/a>. The dynamic duo seemed to go through all the emotions as they watched Indiana battle with Atlanta.<\/p>\n

To the surprise of absolutely no one, both of them also had something to say about the WNBA refs<\/a>, often simultaneously. I’m not kidding. Just look at this call from the first quarter. Clark and Cunningham wanted a travel, but a foul was called instead. Still, that didn’t stop them from asking for the travel \u2015 with arms hysterically motioning in sync.<\/p>\n

Their activity on the bench actually started before tipoff and continued throughout the game. Of course, fans absolutely loved their shenanigans. Here’s what they said:<\/p>\n
