Clark showed up to her home court in an all-black outfit complete with black Nike Air Force 1s, an all-business look that received plenty of compliments from teammate Aliyah Boston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1mfvp8o-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_b424z74tj\">Cunningham, however, was far from impressed. Mics caught Cunningham roasting Clark&#8217;s outfit, specifically pointing out how her shoes and socks didn&#8217;t look good.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_1mfvp8o-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_obq0k8p7c\">&#8220;With the black socks?
