Lara definitely had some bad body language when she was pulled the first time. 

I was at the game in person and read Lara's body language as anger at the refs, not Coach Paye (she was gesturing toward the refs etc).  There were some fouls on her that would have been roughing the passer in football.  She was getting literally pummeled.  And with one of the tackles she hit her head on the ground really hard.  I sure hope she doesn't have a concussion.  That was absolutely terrible refereeing.  They finally started calling Hidalgo for fouls, but only when the game was out of reach. She fouled out but it didn't matter at that point.

That said, Alex's 4th foul was an awful one on her part.  Just really reckless with a player of Hidalgo's talent coming at her.  A rookie mistake on Alex's part, but the type of one she needs to make at this point of her career to get better.  So I'm really glad she is getting the playing time now.

And it is sure a good thing we got all those good forward recruits this year. Could have been really bad with Harper, Kennedy and Nunu all injured.
