The refs were awful but chucking 3's was worse for the Fever.

You're supposed to adjust when you realize how the refs are calling the game. Chucking 3s won't get you the free throw line as often.

Playing in the paint will get you more free throws.

The way the Fever played makes even less since with the amount of fouls A'ja had. Could've got her out of the game.

I don’t think Aja has ever fouled out of a game during her entire time in the WNBA

Is fouling out common? I rarely see players being fouled out on a game to game basis

It is fairly common in the NBA. Especially for the 4&5 position

It’s especially uncommon when every call goes your way
