Team USA exposed by WNBA All-Stars with Olympics coming soon

USA Basketball and WNBA veteran Diana Taurasi could not hide her disgust after Team USA was humbled by Caitlin Clark and the WNBA All-Star Team. Her intense message in the huddle after the WNBA All-Star Game left no doubt how much the unacceptable loss stung to the 42-year-old.
Playing in her home arena in Phoenix, Taurasi hit the first shot of the All-Star Game, but it was only downhill from there. Clark finished with 10 assists, Angel Reese secured a double-double and Arike Ogunbowale earned the MVP award with 34 points, all in the second half.
Diana Taurasi sends harsh message to Team USA
Clark and the WNBA All-Stars had the time of their lives in the 117-109 win, while Team USA had to catch a flight to Europe for the 2024 Paris Olympics straight after the game. Taurasi and the rest of the team left with a bitter taste in their mouths. Team USA isn’t used to losing to anyone.
“This sh*t f***ing sucks,” she told the Americans in a harsh tone in the postgame huddle. “It’s a good reminder, we gotta come to play no matter who we are.”
Caitlin Clark vs Diana Taurasi
The 5-time gold medalist made prickly comments toward Clark when she entered the WNBA and then again when Clark did not receive an invitation to the Olympic team. She said the rookie still needed to pay her dues and prove herself.

They appeared to be on good terms at the beginning of the Indiana Fever vs Phoenix Mercury game earlier this month, but that was before Clark and the Fever ran them out of their own gym. Clark is now 3-0 against Taurasi head-to-head, including two wins in Phoenix.

Phoenix’s “GOAT” isn’t alone in getting swept aside during Caitlin Clark’s “revenge tour.” The No. 1 draft pick is also now 2-0 against Cheryl Reeve, the head coach of Team USA who did not give her a ticket to Paris, and fans have taken notice.
Taurasi is without a doubt one of the greatest competitors that women’s basketball has ever seen. Her irritation, it seems, is that she finally found a young player who can match her desire to be great.
