“Did Angel Reese Almost Throw a Punch? Chaos Erupts in Explosive Face-Off With Caitlin Clark”

In a fiery on-court moment that stunned fans and lit up social media, Angel Reese nearly punched Caitlin Clark during a heated exchange in Sunday’s WNBA matchup. The tension between the two rising stars boiled over late in the third quarter after a hard foul and some intense trash talk sparked a face-to-face confrontation.

Witnesses say Reese had to be physically held back by teammates after stepping aggressively toward Clark, who stood her ground but did not retaliate. Referees quickly intervened, separating the two and issuing double technicals. While no punches were thrown, the scene made it clear that the rivalry between the two isn’t cooling off anytime soon.

Both players have history dating back to their college days, and their competitive fire has only intensified in the pros. Reese’s postgame comments added fuel to the fire: “I’m not backing down from anyone. Emotions run high, especially when you care.”

Clark, meanwhile, kept her response brief: “We’re here to play basketball. That’s my focus.”
