Indiana was very upset after last night's loss to Detroit. "I have never been so disappointed and seen such awful officiating," said Coach Fortner. The Fever think that their opponents are really beating up Catchings, and the refs aren't doing a thing about it.

Maybe Bad Boy Coach Laimbeer is turning the Shock into Bad Girls?

The Free Press makes no mention of the physical play or officiating, other than saying that Detroit "caught a break" when Catchings fouled out.

Catchings had 22 and 13, Nolan had 27.
