Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are at it again. The two were seen exchanging words in the first quarter of the Fever’s matchup against the Dream in Atlanta on Saturday.
In the first quarter, Clark brought the ball up the floor and, after being fouled near the top of the key by the Dream’s Jordin Canada, Reese took a swipe at the ball in her hands. Clark took exception to the act and eventually waved Reese off. The exchange came about a minute after Clark drilled a 3-pointer in Reese’s face.

This is just the latest example that these two don’t seem to care much for each other, with Reese’s intense frustration toward Clark once again on full display.
Reese and the Dream played Indiana on Thursday as well, where Reese was caught mocking Clark by flailing around during the stoppage in play.
Last season, Reese, while playing for the Chicago Sky, lost her mind after she was fouled by Clark. She had to be held back by multiple teammates as she screamed and yelled at Clark, who maturely walked the other way.
From the moment that Reese excessively taunted Clark in the National Championship game in 2023, it’s been clear that Reese is the villain in this one-sided rivalry. It comes across as petty jealousy, not competitive fire.
After an abysmal third quarter in which they were outscored 28-15, the Fever watched the Dream pull away for a 113-96 victory. Clark finished with a game-high 26 points but also committed seven turnovers, while Reese scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds. The Dream now lead the season series against Indiana 2-1.
