Caitlin Clark couldn’t avoid the opportunity to ruthlessly mock her opponents in the final moments of Indiana’s blowout victory over Seattle on Sunday.

The final moments of the game got heated when Storm head coach Noelle Quinn and several players went over to confront Fever head coach Christie Sides. Quinn seemed to be upset with Sides’ decision to keep her starters in for the waning seconds with Indiana already up by 17:

The argument between the two coaches led to a pause with less than a second remaining on the game clock. X/Twitter user @logo3sports was at the game and said that Clark exchanged some words of her own with the Seattle bench and had to be restrained by teammates.

Logo 3 Sports then shared a video of Caitlin Clark taunting the Seattle bench, shown on the jumbotron. It appears as though Clark told the Seattle bench to “Stop crying” at the 0:22 second mark:

Per Dustin Schutte of Sports Illustrated, Quinn said that the argument at the end of the game was simply a “gamesmanship” discussion.

“I respect Christie a ton,” Quinn said. “Been in this league a long time. Played for her in Russia. We were just having a spirited conversation about gamesmanship. That’s it.”

Clark had one of the best performances of her tremendous rookie season, recording 23 points, nine assists and five rebounds with a +18 rating. Kelsey Mitchell led Indiana with 27 points in the 92-75 victory.

Through her first 28 games, Caitlin Clark is averaging 17.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.4 rebounds per game while shooting 41.2 percent from the field.

Caitlin Clark Pushes Fever Closer To A Playoff Berth

Indiana (13-15) has won both games after the Olympic break, inching them closer to reaching .500 for the first time this year. More importantly, they’re getting closer and closer to locking down a playoff spot for the first time since 2016.

The Fever occupy the No. 7 seed and are three games clear on the Atlanta Dream, who are 1.5 games behind the Chicago Sky for the final WNBA playoff spot.
