Paige Bueckers' teammate Tyasha Harris puts Valkyries announcer's 'crazy work' on blast after Caitlin Clark's Fever flop

On Thursday, Dallas Wings guard Tyasha Harris watched as the Golden State Valkyries defeated the Caitlin Clark-led Indiana Fever. A certain detail during the broadcast caught Harris's ear, and from the looks of it, she didn't like what she heard.

After the Valkyries pulled off an 88-77 victory, one TV commentator reportedly cited the team's "ability to come back after a bad loss to a bad team." This line appeared to reference Golden State's 80-71 loss to the Wings, who are last in the Western Conference.

"'Bad loss to bad team' is crazy work smh," Harris tweeted in response.

The sentiments of the five-year pro, who has been ruled out for the season due to a knee injury, were echoed by The Wings Bulletin, a credentialed site that covers Harris' team.

"That was so wrong," The Wings Bulletin posted on X.

The Wings did many good things in their nine-point victory over the Valkyries on Tuesday. For one, Dallas outrebounded Golden State 39-28, even getting a 13-5 edge on the offensive glass.

The Wings also picked up seven more steals than the Valkyries, who were +5 in turnovers as they contended with Dallas' enthusiastic defense. Leading the way for the Wings was their prized rookie Paige Bueckers, who scored 20 points on 50% shooting from the field while also grabbing four steals.

The win over the Valkyries was only the second for Dallas this season, but with many more games left to play, they can continue to defy labels that are not exactly flattering.

Valkyries get support from Brandin Podziemski during intense battle with Caitlin Clark's Fever

Golden State managed to stay poised on Thursday, just 48 hours after absorbing its sixth loss of the season.

Watching the Valkyries overcome the Fever at Chase Center was Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski, who was caught on camera taunting Indiana's top star Caitlin Clark.

In the photo taken by award-winning photojournalist Scott Strazzante, Podziemski is seen performing the traveling signal as Clark walks back to the Valkyries' side of the court.

This was one of six turnovers committed by Clark in this game. In total, the Fever turned the ball over 16 times while the Valkyries made just seven errors en route to their 11-point victory.
