Angel Reese was ice cold to start Sunday night against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. Then she got hot, and she made sure everyone knew exactly how she felt about it.
Reese missed her first six shots and looked lost in the paint through most of the first quarter. But she flipped the switch late in the second, helping fuel a run that pushed Atlanta ahead at the half. During her live halftime interview with ESPN's Holly Rowe, Reese let an expletive slip on national television, and the network did not cut away in time.
"I was playing like s— in the beginning, but it's a game of runs," Reese said. "You gotta put that in your back pocket just because you know you have teammates that have your back."
The comment aired uncensored, and clips spread across social media within minutes. Fans did not go easy on her.
"How are they gonna allow her to curse on TV? There are kids watching this, fine her," one fan wrote, part of a wave of replies that ranged from mild annoyance to calls for league discipline.
