The short video moved fast, and WNBA Fans immediately flooded the replies.
One of the most shared reactions came from @doctorcorbomite, who wrote, “that’s two way guard play right there lmao.”
The line caught on with WNBA Fans who turned it into a running joke under the clip.
Another reply added a nickname twist.
@808sandTacos posted, “Paige ‘Audi Crooks’ Buckers.” The comment spread quickly, with WNBA Fans piling on with quote posts, edits, and captions focused on the same play.
Several WNBA Fans pointed out how quickly defense clips go viral compared to scoring ones, especially when a well-known player is involved. One misstep can travel farther than ten clean possessions.
Still, the jokes kept coming. WNBA Fans framed the clip as proof that even the most praised guards get cooked sometimes. Others simply enjoyed seeing Chelsea Gray’s move from another angle.
What stood out was how little context mattered. The Breeze vs Rose game had dozens of plays, but this was the one that stuck.
For many WNBA Fans, the clip wasn’t just about defense. It was about how fast Unrivaled moments become meme material. One crossover, one step, and suddenly a whole timeline is laughing.
By the end of the night, WNBA Fans had turned a single breakdown into the headline moment from the game, showing once again how one play can overshadow everything else.

Another user focused on how close the night was to being even bigger.
@anonymous523235 added, “Ugh she was so close to a triple double [crying emoji].” That line picked up likes from WNBA Fans pointing out how full Bueckers’ game actually was.
Across the replies, WNBA Fans began reframing the night. The defense clip was still circulating, but now it was paired with screenshots of points, rebounds, and assists.
Several WNBA Fans said this is how it usually goes. One moment becomes the joke, then the box score follows. Others joked that this is the price of visibility. The more eyes on you, the faster every mistake travels.
The thread turned into a balance of humor and respect. WNBA Fans still laughed at the Chelsea Gray move, but many also made sure to note that Bueckers carried a heavy load in the loss.
By the end of the night, WNBA Fans were posting both. The clip and the numbers. The joke and the context.
And together, they told the full story of the Breeze vs Rose game: one viral moment, and one performance that went far beyond it.
