Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever lost back-to-back games against their rivals, Angel Reese’s Atlanta Dream. Reese scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the second game, a 113-96 win. Rhyne Howard led the offense with 24 points.
Reese and Clark had a brief encounter in the first quarter when the Fever guard was fouled on a drive, and the Dream center seemingly shared some words with her. In return, Clark appeared to wave Reese off while moving away from her.
Outkick media personality Jon Root shared his thoughts on X:
“Caitlin Clark gets fouled and then waved Angel Reese off after she tried talking trash.
She can’t stand that Clark is the WNBA’s golden girl.”
Reese and Clark have been rivals since their college days. Clark leads their head-to-head in the WNBA 5-3 despite the Fever’s back-to-back losses.
“Gotta take care of the ball better” – Caitlin Clark on the Fever’s loss
Caitlin Clark cut a frustrated figure, answering questions with her head down after the Fever’s second consecutive loss to the Dream. When asked about areas for improvement, Clark pointed to turnovers and poor defense.
“We just gotta take care of the ball better, and that starts with me,” she told reporters. “Just focusing on that and then what we did wrong in the first half was playing transition, spray, and find open people. It’s really hard to do that when all we do is foul and they score.”
Caitlin Clark scored 26 points on 11-for-18 shooting, but could not lead her team to victory. The Fever face the Phoenix Mercury next.
