However, Cunningham would get her revenge later in the game.

With Sheldon racing towards the hoop after a steal in the final minute, Cunningham wrapped her arms around Sheldon’s head and pulled her by her neck to the ground.

Another larger scuffle ensued, with Connecticut’s Lindsay Allen running over to defend her teammate and Sheldon popping straight up to shove Cunningham.

Ultimately, Cunningham, Sheldon, and Allen were all ejected.

Cunningham was also fined by the league afterwards for the foul, according to ESPN’s Alexa Philippou.

Mabrey also saw her technical foul (assessed for her shove on Clark) upgraded to a flagrant two foul.

Many fans praised Cunningham for standing up for her teammate.

That list included LA Rams pass rusher Jared Verse tweeted the video, saying, ‘THIS STANDING ON BUSINESS!!!!’

Others condemned Cunningham for the blatant foul and believed she went too far in defending Clark.

Clark and Sun center Tina Charles, who also got involved in the initial incident, were assessed double technical fouls as well.

The tension had been building from earlier in the game, as Clark and Sheldon found themselves in a feisty exchange, with the Fever star firing off a volatile message after Sheldon appeared to say: ‘You can’t do that.’

‘I can do whatever the f*** I want to do,’ Clark said to Sheldon before shoving her away.

Sheldon’s teammate Mabrey quickly stepped in and gave a little shove to Clark as she walked away from the confrontation. But no technical fouls were called in that exchange.

Ultimately, Indiana beat Connecticut 88-71 to earn a spot in the WNBA’s Commissioners Cup Championship.

Clark was typically impressive in the win, racking up 20 points and six assists, while Cunningham had five points and seven rebounds.
