Brittney Griner calls out WNBA refs in heated halftime outburst during Atlanta Dream's win over Dallas Wings, demands better officiating.
Atlanta Dream's Brittney Griner unleashed her frustration at WNBA officials during a fiery halftime interview on Saturday, as her team secured an 83-75 victory over the Dallas Wings. The center, visibly upset, called out the refs for missed calls on fouls, shouting, "Be f---ing better!" as they passed by. Griner later apologized for her colorful language, acknowledging the fans watching at home.
Despite the outburst, Griner delivered on the court, contributing 15 points and eight rebounds. Allisha Gray stole the show with 27 points, six assists, and five rebounds, sealing the Wings' fourth consecutive loss. Griner, who joined the Dream this offseason after 12 years with the Phoenix Mercury, has been a force, averaging 14.8 points and 7.8 rebounds in her first four games with Atlanta.
Griner's journey has been anything but ordinary. After enduring a high-profile detention in Russia in 2022, she returned to the WNBA with resilience. A two-time Defensive Player of the Year, her presence in Atlanta signals a new chapter, but her passion for the game—and her expectations for fair officiating—remain as fierce as ever.

Griner’s got a point—refs missing calls is like a chef forgetting salt in the soup. Bland and infuriating! But let’s talk about her game: 15 points, 8 rebounds, and a side of fire. Maybe the refs need glasses, or maybe Brittney’s just too fast for their whistles!
