  "account": "Caitlin Clark was visibly upset after a post-game media interview following Team USA's victory in the FIBA World Cup. The USA secured a 97-79 triumph over France, extending their 20-year winning streak to 24 years, with their next likely defeat occurring in 2030. Clark and Angel Reese, who formed a strong on-court connection during the tournament, were the subjects of a journalist's question regarding their friendship. Clark firmly stated, \"We’ve always been friends. Don’t try to do that,\" dismissing the journalist's attempt to create discord between her and Reese. Despite their shared college days and fierce on-court rivalry, the rivalry appeared to be strictly professional in nature, with no signs of personal animosity between the two. This intense rivalry was evident in their World Cup performance, but it was clear that Clark was particularly bothered by the journalist's probing questions, as the WNBA season resumed shortly after the World Cup in Germany.",
