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.
VIDEO: Cameras Caught Cowboys Superstar Trevon Diggs Trying To Have Tequila Shots With Raiders Fans Before Game

Arash Markazi of The Sporting Tribune posted a video on X/Twitter of Trevon Diggs coming over to talk to Raiders fans at the luxurious Wynn Field Club that spans the north end zone section of Allegiant Stadium.
You can’t quite hear what Diggs is saying to the fans, but according to Markazi, the All-Pro cornerback made a joke about wanting the fans to get him a shot of the rich Don Julio 1942 Tequila:
The Cowboys defeated the Raiders 27-12 to improve to 2-0 in preseason play. Third-stringer Trey Lance saw the most action on offense, completing 15 of 23 pass attempts for 151 yards and one touchdown to go along with a team-leading 34 rushing yards and one score.

After back-to-back Pro Bowl selections, Trevon Diggs unfortunately missed all but two games in 2023 after suffering a season-ending ACL tear. Second-year corner DaRon Bland stepped up in Diggs’ absence, finishing with a league-leading nine interceptions and five pick-sixes, a single-season record.
Though Diggs has been inconsistent in coverage, he has made up for it with his all-world ball-hawking skills. The 2020 second-round pick led the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021 and totaled 21 pass breakups.
In 2022, Diggs finished with three interceptions and 14 pass breakups to earn his second Pro Bowl selection. He helped Dallas to their first playoff win in four years, though they were ousted by the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round.
Through his first four seasons (47 games), Trevon Diggs has 18 interceptions and 52 pass breakups.

The Cowboys will be tested early when they travel to Cleveland to take on the Browns in their season opener on Sept. 8. One of the top matchups in that game will be Dallas’ All-Pro cornerback duo of Diggs and Bland vs. the Browns’ top two wideouts in ex-Cowboy Amari Cooper and offseason acquisition Jerry Jeudy.
