INDIANAPOLIS -- General manager Amber Cox defended the Indiana Fever fanbase during her end-of-season news conference Saturday morning, saying the "attacks on our fanbase have no basis in reality." Criticism of Fever fans and their interactions with opposing players arose again in Game 2 of the first round when Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson had a confrontation with a fan sitting behind the baseline. Arena security said there was no violation of the fan code of conduct. There is a line, and people need to be held accountable if they cross it. "But here's the fact: We did not have one fan pointed out by a player who violated the WNBA code of conduct this season. And all of that is within the code of conduct." Wilson said the man was taking steps toward her and pointing at her, calling it "unacceptable." After Game 3, Wilson said she has her "moments" and that she is human and just wanted to move on from the incident. "I don't think people really understand how much we endure, man," Mitchell said.
