Team USA cruised to a commanding 105-64 win against Czechia. The 41-point victory was their third straight as Kara Lawson\u2019s squad remained undefeated in Group D of the FIBA World Cup.<\/p>\n
Caitlin Clark, however, sparked a very different conversation online. The Indiana Fever superstar continued to struggle with her shot, but one made 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter was enough to set social media off after cameras caught an awkward moment on the Team USA bench.<\/p>\n
WNBA World Rips Team USA After Jackie Young Appears to Tell Teammate to Clap for Caitlin Clark<\/p>\n
Team USA was comfortably ahead 96-58 with 3:20 left in the fourth quarter when Clark finally connected from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n
The camera then zoomed in on the Team USA bench, where Jackie Young appeared to tell Kahleah Copper to clap after Clark\u2019s long-range shot.<\/p>\n
The brief moment immediately caught the attention of Clark\u2019s fans, who questioned why Young seemingly had to remind her teammate to celebrate a basket by one of their own.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know which is worse: Jackie Young telling Kahleah Copper, \u2018You better clap,\u2019 because she\u2019s annoyed by the Caitlin Clark attention, or Kahleah genuinely not wanting to clap until she was told to. Either way, it just rubs me the wrong way,\u201d Jaime Lardis wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cTHE HATE IS REAL\u2026..\u201d another Clark supporter posted<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cJealousy is such an evil thing. This (expletive) me off so bad,\u201d one Clark fan vented<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cOne-sided beef, mind you. CC has done NOTHING to them. Genuinely want them to give a reason as to why they don\u2019t like her, that doesn\u2019t include \u2018her fans\u2019 behavior\u2019 because she doesn\u2019t & can\u2019t control what other people do\/say. So what has CAITLIN done to hurt them,\u201d another X user questioned.<\/a><\/p>\n The reaction continued to snowball, with LetsTalkSports calling the moment \u201cpathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIMAGINE HATING SO HARD SOMEONE HAS TO REMIND YOU TO CLAP WHEN YOUR OWN TEAMMATE SCORES\u2026 This is Team USA, not Team Everybody Except Caitlin Clark,\u201d the account posted<\/a>.<\/p>\n HeroOfTheDay X handle<\/a> shared the clip as well and accused Clark\u2019s teammates of showing jealousy toward the Fever star.<\/p>\n \u201cUnbelievable\u2026\u2026. Watch what she says here, then peep the body language. Everyone with a set of eyes can see the rampant jealousy for Caitlin Clark permeating women\u2019s basketball. Enough is enough! Why won\u2019t someone tell them the insecure and childish behavior must stop?\u201d<\/p>\n Clark, meanwhile, had a mixed night on the floor. The 3-pointer was her only make from deep as she finished with nine points on 3-of-8 shooting, including 1-of-6 from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n
