Clark took a three-point shot around three minutes into the game, but felt Bonner fouled her when she came back down, knocking her to the ground. Clark made her case towards the sidelines, before Bonner interjected, prompting Clark to shove the veteran back.
The interaction was over as quickly as it began, but the two appeared to exchange words once again later in the half before Clark removed herself from the situation.
