"Karma will happen Plum ain’t taking that": WNBA fans stunned as Paige Bueckers shoves Kelsey Plum during physical battle

Paige Bueckers shoved Kelsey Plum when the Dallas Wings took on the LA Sparks on Sunday. During the first few seconds of the third quarter, Bueckers drove inside the paint and shot over three Sparks defenders. However, she wasn't happy that she wasn't given a foul and looked at the referee. She then ran into Plum, whom she then shoved away in frustration.

Both players continued to play as if nothing had happened.

@tampaburner_ Kinda funny to me. After a career of being coddled, Paige is finally getting bodied up, and she's pissed. But good for her.

Paige Bueckers bested by LA Sparks on Sunday

Paige Bueckers played the second-to-last game of her WNBA rookie season on Sunday. Bueckers has proven to be a bright star, already notching her first All-Star appearance this season, despite the Dallas Wings' struggles to secure a playoff spot this year.

Those struggles were once again apparent when the LA Sparks beat the Wings on Sunday, 91-77. Bueckers kept the game within reach for Dallas. The Wings rookie added 18 points, seven assists, six rebounds and one block.

The only other Wings player to make a significant contribution was Myisha Hines-Allen, who put up a double-double performance. Hines-Allen had 15 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block.

However, six Sparks players reached double figures in scoring to help secure a much-needed victory. Leading the charge was Julie Allemand, who scored 21 points. Azurá Stevens arguably had her best performance for the Sparks with her double-double outing of 13 points and 11 rebounds.

The other four Sparks players who helped notch the win on Sunday were Dearica Hamby (15 points), Rae Burrell (13 points), Kelsey Plum (12 points) and Rickea Jackson (11 points).
