As a CC fan, I’ve always thought the characterizations of DT’s comments on CC were overwrought. She’s a competitor. The Mercury were awesome to CC and the Fever tonight. That game was incredible and I’m so happy the Fever came out on top. 🔥

[HappyMad]

They lying like hell 😂 I’ve been to one of their home games. It’s NEVER been the same crowd that’s attended tonight. The Clark effect is real.

Thank you Taurasi for showing respect to CC before, during, and after the game. Much needed in the WNBA.

*I’m impressed that Diana Taurasi gave Clark respect in both English and Spanish.* I started watching women’s hoops in 2001. Diana Taurasi and Alana Beard were two players I enjoyed watching just as much as I enjoy watching Clark now. *Clark is a generational talent!*

[brianwysko]

They hate talking about Clark. You can see it all over their face. I love it! Go Clark!

[MG-dqfm]

Good job Diana.i was not a fan you in the past. Tonight your sportwomenship toward Clark needs recognition. Keep it up.

[FURPRONOUNS]

Three Olympians on that team & got beat by a young team & the greatest rookies the wnba has ever seen. Respect for DT for her kind words about CC.

[KingBerry]

“Felt like a normal home game” 😂😂😂 Normal home game 9, 000….CC comes to town 17, 000…delusional

[porterbrass]

DT was classy in this interview, acknowledging CCs greatness.

[Laughteristherapy]

DT lied! I read this was the largest crowd since 1997😂😂😂

[shafedpoozay]

I have a bigger respect for the Phoenix vets. Despite being one tough team they showed great sportsmanship to CC22

[ButterflyMom]

DT once said about CC “Reality is Coming…”
The kid schooled the Vet.
Reality is Here.
It’s nice to hear DT acknowledge the skills of CC

Who got the standing ovation while leaving the court it was the Superstar Caitlin Clark period !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[brrk]

I saw the fever play vs our team and 1) they opened the upper section which is never open (tix 128) last row of arena - every other have - upper section not open for seating at all and last row second section ($27) and the crowd pro fever - honestly I think it is CC style of play that is so impressive - something about hitting threes from logo and her passing is amazing to watch - once they have more time to gel and connect on those passes — going to be amazing — love Boston too - she is great player that is going to really shine with help (Mitchell too)

[jdneely]

She got humbled real quick, perhaps Taurasi underestimated how good Clark is.

[larayap]

Wait.. They said that the crowd is like normal to them That huge attendance.. Come on.. Is CC effect.. I check your home crowd attendance and its not even close to CC attendance🤣🤣🤣

[PatrickFordyce-bc]

Yes you are absolutely right the biggest crowd since 1997

[jsrunnels]

I'm I'mpressed with these mercury players, they have no negativity, they're very positive when they spoke about Caitlin and you can tell how much they love the game.good job girls

[SteveKnowsTrumpet-ueeg]

Incredible game!! So very competitive!! I don't even like basketball. At all. But this is getting to be something better. Something very worth watching. I can't wait to see these two fantastic teams go at again!! It's special.

[johnraymond]

This was a great game to watch. There are a lot of great teams in this league and these are definitely two of them.
