With about 4:48 left in the second quarter, Fagbenle was fouled while trying to go up for a shot. After the whistle blew, she tried to just finish the play by putting the ball back into the basket. 

Fagbenle’s teammate Erika Wheeler, and Cloud's teammate Sophie Cunningham, then tried to clear their teammates out to try to get everyone to huddle up.
