Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve had a fiery reaction after a no-call left star player Napheesa Collier hurt in Game 3 of the semifinals against the Phoenix Mercury.
With about 23.8 seconds left in the game, Mercury's Alyssa Thomas stole the ball from Collier, resulting in a game-sealing layup. Reeve stormed onto the court, got into the officials' faces, and was quickly ejected after receiving her second technical foul.
*The Incident:*
- *No-call on the play*:
The officials didn't call a foul on Alyssa Thomas, who made incidental contact with Collier's knee, causing her to twist her ankle and leave the court limping.
- *Reeve's outburst*:
Reeve's passion boiled over, and she argued with the referees, calling the officiating crew's assignment to the semifinal game "malpractice".
- *Collier's injury*:
Collier finished with 17 points and six rebounds before exiting the game in visible pain. Reeve suggested that Collier might have a fracture, which could impact her availability for Game 4.
*Reeve's Post-Game Rant:*
- *Criticizing officiating*:
Reeve didn't hold back in her post-game press conference, calling for a change in leadership at the league level when it comes to officiating.
- *Passion for her team*:
Reeve's outburst showcased her raw emotion and dedication to her team, particularly after witnessing her star player get hurt.
The Lynx now face an elimination scenario in Game 4, scheduled for Sunday in Phoenix, with Collier's status uncertain. Reeve's comments have sparked a broader conversation about officiating in the Wnba.
