Kelsey Plum sparked plenty of conversation during a halftime interview in the Las Vegas Aces‘ 78-74 win over Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on Friday. Her response to a question about the Aces’ strong defensive performance caught many off guard and quickly became the talk of the game.

After holding the Fever to just 13 points in the first quarter and 35 at the half, Plum was asked how her team had managed to contain the Fever‘s offense. Her answer, however, was less about basketball strategy and more about her personality shining through in an unexpected way.

Mitchell’s reaction to criticism

While some viewers found her comments “rude,” Plum didn’t seem fazed by the criticism. After the game, which pushed the Aces to a 24-13 record, Plum took the remarks in stride and laughed off the situation.

“I mean, I thought we did a great job as a team, but Kelsey Mitchell was cooking,” Plum said. “She had a couple on me as well, so I didn’t want to say anything stupid. So I just said come back to me.”

On the court, Plum had a solid outing, finishing with 18 points and a game-high plus-17 rating. Caitlin Clark also put up 18 points but struggled to get going in the first half. Mitchell led Indiana with 20 points in the close contest.

“I don’t even have social media on my phone,” Plum said. “No offense but, like, we have good players. I would hope so. Not disrespectful. We have competitors – pick one. That’s what I meant. People these days don’t say the truth.”
