Brittney Griner throws Angel Reese to the floor like a rag doll in stunning show of power
Brittney Griner, the WNBA's most divisive player before Angel Reese, showed Angel who was still in charge Tuesday night.
Griner — who famously spent some time in a Russian prison and was dealt back to America a few years ago in what was maybe the most lopsided trade of all time — threw Reese to the floor late in the fourth quarter and was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul.
Now, should she have been fouled for this? I'm not sure. Did Angel flop? Maybe. Possibly. But the optics weren't great, and the refs made Griner pay.
