Angel Reese missed the game-winning layup, and Caitlin Clark was caught smiling right behind her. Here’s the full story of the Fever vs. Dream overtime thriller, and what Reese finally said two days later.
On August 16, 2026, the Indiana Fever and Atlanta Dream were tied 81-81 with five seconds left at State Farm Arena. Angel Reese grabbed the rebound a few feet from the basket, and her putback rolled off the rim. As the teams headed to overtime, ESPN cameras caught Caitlin Clark smiling as she walked past a frustrated Reese. The clip went viral before overtime even started. The Fever won 95-91, and Reese didn’t speak to reporters that night.
In this full-length breakdown, we go well beyond the viral clip. We walk through the whole game, the final possession play by play, the reaction from fans and analysts, and Angel Reese’s honest comments after the Dream beat A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces. We also look back at the full Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese rivalry, from the 2023 national championship game between LSU and Iowa to the flagrant fouls in the WNBA.
