On Thursday night, the high-profile rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese was renewed as Clark and the Indiana Fever took on Reese and the Atlanta Dream. This time, it was Reese and the Dream who came out on top, topping Clark and the Fever by a final score of 108-101.
The games between the two superstars usually produce a viral moment or two, going back to their NCAA title game matchup when Reese taunted Clark by pointing to her ring finger. Thursday’s game was no different as Reese had a little fun at Clark’s expense, mocking the Fever superstar after a foul call during the second quarter.
Reese Mocks Caitlin Clark
At the beginning of the second quarter of Thursday night’s game, Clark was trying to move through the court when she ran into Reese at the top of the key. When Clark made contact with Reese, she flailed her arms in the air, drawing a foul call on Reese.
Needless to say, Reese was not at all happy with the call, immediately throwing her hands up in frustration.
When a camera zoomed in on Reese after the play, it caught the Dream star mocking her rival by flailing her arms with a smile on her face, implying Clark flopped and exaggerated the contact to draw the foul.

“The way this isn’t even an exaggeration,” one fan added.
“She ain’t wrong,” someone else wrote.
“She’s absolutely right too,” another fan added.

While the first matchup between Reese and Clark, which came in early June, was relatively quiet in terms of any head-to-head fireworks, the new Atlanta star slightly increased the intensity on Thursday.
In the second quarter, Clark went to set a screen, or at least move through Reese, on the offensive side of the ball — but the whistle quickly sounded when Clark flailed her arms up after a light shove from Reese.
Reese clearly wasn’t a fan of the call. First, she flailed her own arms in the air. Then, the broadcast caught her mocking Clark a bit with a smile on her face:
Why is there beef between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese?
