Griffin wrote on social networks that the incident showed him one thing.
“After looking at the blatant fault of Caitlin Clark on Angel Reese and the consequences, there is no way that Angel Reese can continue the lie that she does not like Caitlin Clark,” wrote Griffin. “I know what hatred looks like. Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark. Not a basketball rivalry either.
Clark and Reese have a major history, returning to the National Basketball Championship of the NCAA 2023.
The two players minimized the incident.
Clark told Holly Rowe d’Espn after the third quarter that there was “nothing malicious” behind the fault.

Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese minimize the heated moment after a blatant fault in the opening of the fever season
Let’s not do something that’s not, ”said Clark after the match.” It was just a good game on basketball. I do not know what the referee saw to upgrade him, and it is at their discretion. It is a fault to put them on the free throw line. I looked at a lot of basketball in my life, that’s exactly what it was. I was not trying to do anything malicious. This is not the type of player I am. “”
Reese said it was a “basketball game”.
Head coach Stephanie White said she thought it was a “clear game on the ball” when Clark had increased. But the head of the crew Roy Gulbeyan said that Clark had pushed Reese with his left hand.
“The fault on Clark met the Criteria of Flagrant Foul 1, for the end, the impact and the follow-up of the extension of the left hand on the back of Reese, which is not considered a legitimate basketball game, and therefore judged unnecessary contact,” he told a pool journalist. “After the fault, there is a physical mockery technique on (Aliyah) Boston and a verbal technique on Reese, which has compensated.”
