“That’s f****** bu******,” Taurasi seemingly said following the call.
Taurasi has a history of similar reactions after technical fouls, and quite frankly, it’s warranted. For the WNBA’s all-time leading scorer, Taurasi has earned the credential to feel as she pleases. This wasn’t the first time a clip like this has gone viral, and it likely won’t be the last.
Fans have certainly had their fun after seeing this clip, however.
First-half struggles, swings of momentum continue to haunt Phoenix Mercury
