Caitlin Clark has caused a stir on social media for her reaction to rival Angel Reese's miss during Indiana Fever's win against Atlanta Dream.
Clark and Reese, two of the biggest names in the WNBA with a media-driven rivalry dating back to their college days, faced off on Sunday as Atlanta hosted Indiana. The game was close throughout and went to overtime after Reese missed a layup that would have won it for Atlanta in regulation.
With seconds left in the fourth quarter, the ball was played to Reese, who tried to put it back under the rim. Her shot missed, and time expired as Naz Hillmon also attempted a shot that fell short.
Clark's Reaction Caught on Camera
Reese cut a frustrated figure after the miss, clearly aware she had squandered a huge chance to give Atlanta the win. As teammates consoled her, Clark stepped into the background and appeared to laugh in Reese's direction.
Footage of Clark's reaction quickly spread across social media, with fans spotting the moment. One fan said: "This has to be a meme for when they compare the 2!" Another wrote: "I love the look that Caitlin had after Reese's miss." A third added: "This meme will last a lifetime."
Fans React to the Viral Moment
"Classic! Man they really, really hate each other…" a fourth claimed. A fifth added: "Angel Reese missed a wide open lay up to win the game and Caitlin Clark laughing behind her as she reacts to the miss is going to be a meme for a long time." Another said: "And their drama continues."
Indiana went on to win 95-91 in overtime, much to Reese's frustration after she had the chance to claim victory in regulation. Clark's reaction may not have been directed at her rival—she could have simply been relieved the game was heading to overtime.
