There's no denying that it's the Indiana Fever who are considered underdogs against the Minnesota Lynx in Tuesday's Commissioner's Cup final. 

It's the 14-2 Lynx who currently have the best record in the WNBA and are defending their title in this winner-take-all clash. On top of that, the 8-8 Fever were placed at a major disadvantage after Caitlin Clark was ruled out of the game due to a lingering groin injury. 

Be that as it may, the Fever fought hard in this one, proving to the basketball world that they are fully capable of competing at the highest level even without their cornerstone superstar on the floor. 

ESPN, however, appears to have already determined the winner of the game even before the final buzzer. In fact, the network is adamant that the Lynx would "dominate" the Clark-less Fever in this one. 

ESPN is now facing backlash from the fans after a screenshot of a scheduled YouTube video circulated online while the game was still going on. What angered the fans is ESPN's decision to use a predetermined headline for the said video: "FULL REACTION: Lynx dominate Fever to win Commissioner's Cup | The Wrap Up."

"It’s common to have these graphics ready to go for after a game, but to have it published somewhere is nasty. Where’d this come from?" a comment on X read. 

"Absolutely pathetic. Fever are up by 11," said another. 

" What in the world? Shameful," declared a user. 

"That’s ESPN… they stopped being a real voice in sports a long time ago," a reaction read. 

"How is this real? I CANNOT wait to hear the justification. Idiots. @espn," another said. 

"ESPN with the nasty work. " wrote a viewer. 

The game has not officially ended as of writing. However, it's the Fever who are up, 63-51, with 3:55 remaining in the game. 

ESPN might just need to take down that video within the next few minutes.
