The Los Angeles Sparks took down the Indiana Fever in WNBA action, 89-87. Things got physical late in the game between a pair of high-profile guards.
Kelsey Plum became frustrated with what she believed to be a flop by Lexie Hull. She made her feelings known soon thereafter.
The incident occurred in the fourth quarter of what was then a one-point game. Plum attempted to get out of a double-team after picking up her dribble.
As she turned to find an open teammate, she dipped her shoulder into her defender, Hull. Contact was relatively minimal. Still, Hull fell to the ground as Plum completed her passing motion. No whistle was blown.
Kelsey Plum, upset with the failed flop attempt, then stepped over the top of Lexie Hull to prevent her from climbing back to her feet. Contact there was far less than minimal!

Plum essentially tackled Hull as she pulled herself off the floor. Play continued before Plum voiced her opinion to the officiating crew.
“She’s flopping,” lip readers deciphered. “Lexie’s f—– flopping.”
The Sparks had grown frustrated with Hull’s tendency to sell fouls. It was something that later surfaced during the final moments of the contest as Los Angeles mounted its comeback.
Trailing 87-86, Sparks forward Rickea Jackson backed Lexie Hull down in the paint before hitting a go-ahead layup with 57 seconds remaining in play. It proved to be the game-winning bucket as the Fever never regained the lead.
Hull again fell to the floor at the first sign of contact in hopes of getting a cheap foul. Again, officials swallowed their whistles and allowed play to continue.
