Watch the moment Caitlin Clark drops a DIME to Angel Reese in WNBA All-Star Game as rivals combine on the court
They may be enemies away from this one-off showpiece, but Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese were certainly singing from the same hymn sheet in the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday night.
Clark and Reese, who are battling it out for this year’s Rookie of the Year award, put their rivalry to one side and combined to great effect in the annual women’s basketball showpiece at Footprint Center.
In the fourth quarter of the game, Clark went on a mazy run before looking up and spotting her teammate in acres of space.
She then dropped a dime into the path of Reese, who coolly made the bucket from close range to increase Team WNBA’s lead on the night.
After linking up brilliantly, the duo produced an iconic image by sharing a high-five before continuing with the game.

Before they connected on the court, Reese was asked by the ESPN broadcast team mid-game about how much she was enjoying playing with Clark.
‘It’s so cool, when she gets the ball I’m running looking for the ball because I know she’s gonna throw it,’ she said while sat on the bench.
‘She’s been great to play with. Hopefully in four years we’ll be Olympians together.’
Clark and Reese were on the winning team in Phoenix, with the WNBA All-Stars getting the better of USA Basketball in a 117-109 victory.
Arike Ogunbowale stole the show in the second half after scoring the most points in WNBA All-Star history with a record tally of 34.

During her own mid-game interview with ESPN while on the bench, the Fever rookie was told that she was two assists shy of Bird’s record at the time.
She then joked: ‘Oh if it’s Sue’s I’m gonna break it, because she’s been talking c**p all game!
‘If it’s anybody else they can keep it but not Sue Bird…’
