It's a classic case of calling outside of your area and making a mistake. The play took place in the L's primary and he didn't have a whistle. The T was starting to move in transition as she made the call.
The game was called well as a whole, which makes that whistle so much more egregious.

There may be a little burnout at the start of the WNBA season before they get into a flow.
