Play was halted for several minutes at the 4:38 mark, near successful the 3rd 4th erstwhile, when arena staff escorted a woman seated in the front row, directly opposite the Aces bench, out through a tunnel.

Young told reporters that a fan had been “chirping” throughout the evening and, at that moment, she felt the individual had crossed a line. She declined to repeat what was said. Later, Young added, “Then he just made 1 that was a small spot too far.” In a statement, the Indiana Fever said that 1 instrumentality was removed, past elected not to instrumentality erstwhile it was determined that the instrumentality’s behaviour did not violate the argumentation policy.
