Security at TD Garden escorted the courtside Fever fan, who was wearing a Caitlin Clark shirt, into enemy territory. Chatter around the fan's ejection noted that Rivers pointed him out to the referees after allegedly hearing taunts from the Fever fanatic.

Fans at TD booed the man as he walked off, and the game resumed in the second quarter.

The Sun hosted an anticipated game against the Fever after their last matchup was physical beyond the norm, with Caitlin Clark taking several spills and a poke in the eye. 

It was also the game that launched Fever's Sophie Cunningham into stardom after playing the team's unofficial enforcer.

Tuesday's game picked up where the other left off. 

In the third quarter, Connecticut's Tina Charles took a shot at Fever's Aaliyah Boston and was not called for a flagrant.

Indiana won the heated matchup, 85-77. Fever star Caitlin Clark left late in the fourth quarter after appearing to reaggravate her groin injury.
