Summary
Late in the fourth quarter, Brittney Griner was assessed a Flagrant 1 after throwing Angel Reese to the floor during Atlanta's 93-58 Commissioner's Cup win over Connecticut.
The foul came in a clear size mismatch—Griner is listed at 6-foot-9 and Reese at 6-foot-3—and the play quickly became the game's flashpoint.
Reese still controlled the glass, finishing with 13 rebounds, including seven offensive boards, while Griner had four.
The incident added edge to a lopsided result as Atlanta closed out a double-digit victory and the foul became the night's main talking point.
