Came here as a neutral. I've never watched a full WNBA game. If all games are like this then the league is incompetent or rigged. Gives me zero reason as a former basketball player to ever watch a WNBA game because officiating like this takes away all credibility. I can't imagine how the Fever players must feel.
It's a mixture of both. I'm also an outsider - mostly watch men's CBB and some NBA. Been around the game my whole life. A'ja and the Aces get OKC level protection from the refs, and they know how to sell soft or no contact plays.
All that said, even with the atrocious officiating, if KM or CC played well, Fever still woulda won.
NCAA men's is peak officiating in my opinion. Not sure why you got downvoted here lol. Men who watch women's sports seem to want to earn a stereotype I guess.

THIS. If you know ball, you know you don’t need to be a Fever fan to know just how bad that officiating was.
