Doris Burke evoked recent Caitlin Clark discourse during a Mavericks foul in the NBA Finals

ESPN’s Doris Burke knew exactly what she was doing with this call.

After a hard foul on Kristaps Porzingis during Game 5 of the NBA Finals, ESPN’s Doris Burke made a spot-on observation.

Porzingis, who has played limited action during the series for Boston due to multiple injuries, hit the floor after he was met with overly physical defense from Dallas forward P.J. Washington.

You can watch the sequence as it unfolded below, but it didn’t look fun for Porzingis and he seemed reasonably and expectedly upset afterward:

As the broadcast showed a replay of the events, though, Burke noted that such a foul probably would have caused a week-long debate had it happened to WNBA rookie Caitlin Clark.

Recent fouls on Clark have, unfortunately, stirred far too many debates in the basketball world.

You can listen to Burke’s call, which was just so perfectly on the nose:

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Houston Rockets, NBA Live Stream, Schedule, TV Channel, Start Time

The Milwaukee Bucks will take on the Houston Rockets tonight on Sunday Night Basketball, stream it now!

The Milwaukee Bucks will look to continue their dominance tonight when they face the Houston Rockets at Walt Disney World in sunny Orlando, Florida. The Bucks are coming off an impressive win against the Celtics last game with Giannis Antetokounmpo looking like he hasn’t missed a step during the pause.

James Harden and the Rockets will look to continue their small ball routine against the Bucks but I’d expect this game to be another high scoring affair with the NBA stars involved.

The red hot Portland Trail Blazers will take on the Boston Celtics today for some afternoon NBA action in the bubble.

The Portland Trail Blazers have come back to the NBA restart healthy, rejuvenated, and fast.  Coming off an overtime win against the Memphis Grizzlies last game they will look to continue the fight for a playoff spot today as they take on the Boston Celtics in the bubble.

Kemba Walker was limited in playing time last game against the Bucks, where the Celtics suffered their third loss of their last four.  If the Celtics want to stop the slide, they will need more Kemba on the floor tonight.
