Angel Reese mocks Caitlin Clark after clear push as WNBA’s best rivalry hits new gear

Latest & Breaking News on Fox News

Angel Reese took down Caitlin Clark in Thursday night’s latest edition of the WNBA’s best rivalry, and — you’ll be stunned to know this — it didn’t come without drama.

I know. Drama in an Angel Reese-Caitlin Clark game? Unheard of!

Reese led the Dream with 21 points on a surprising 8 of 14 shooting, adding 11 rebounds and only four mebounds. Clark was good (26 points), but this night belonged to Reese and the Dream.

Fair is fair, and we have to be fair here. I know folks won’t like it, but I’m nothing if not an honest reporter. I call ’em like I see ’em, and Angel Reese had a night.

CAITLIN CLARK DROPS 26 POINTS IN NEW NIKE SIGNATURE SHOES, BUT FEVER DREAM ENDS WITH 17 COSTLY TURNOVERS

She was also feeling herself, especially in the second quarter when she A) appeared to push Clark, leading to a whistle, and then B) mocked her reaction to it.

Take a look:

First of all, that looks like a foul. Sure, Caitlin Clark sold it, but that’s just what basketball is at this point. Frankly, it’s why I can’t stand it. It’s all just flopping and acting. Constant whistles. Constant fouls. It’s horrible.

As for Angel Reese’s reaction to it … I’d say it’s probably fair, too. This was a big game, and a big moment, and emotions are all over the place. I’d be p—ed, too, if I thought someone was selling a foul.

Again, though … it was probably a foul. I’ve certainly seen the whistle blown for far less.

Angel wasn’t done, by the way. A few possessions later, she went at it with Sophie Cunningham:

That’s the look of someone who has been owned by Caitlin Clark since the two left college a few years back. Ever since the infamous finger-wag at LSU, Clark has dominated Angel Reese. It’s been no contest since the two joined the WNBA.

Clark and Cunningham took the first showdown last week. Angel Reese got one back last night.
