Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeves did not hold back after the team’s loss in game 5 of the WNBA finals.
With five seconds left in the game, Lynx’s Alanna Smith was called for a foul on Breanna Stewart, which led to the Liberty forcing overtime.
Fans felt that the foul shouldn’t have been called and that Stewart may have also traveled during the play.

After the game, Reeves ripped into the WNBA refs over the controversial foul call.
“I know all the headlines will be ‘Reeve cries fouls.’ Bring it on. Right? Bring it on. Because this was stolen from us. Bring it on”

LeBron James agreed with Reeves’ comments.
I’m sorry but that wasn’t a foul! Let the damn players dictate the outcome of a close battled tested game. 🤦🏾♂️
