WNBA star Brittney Griner gives refs an earful during halftime interview: 'Be f---ing better'

Griner was about to talk to CBS Sports for a halftime interview when the officials walked behind her. She turned around and complained about how she was being fouled during the contest. She was then heard yelling an expletive as the officials went back to the locker room.

"Be f---ing better," she said.

WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE

Griner apologized to those watching at home for her profane outburst.

She played two more seasons in Phoenix after she returned home. A two-time WNBA Defensive Player of the Year, she averaged 17.7 points and 7.4 rebounds during her time with the Mercury.

In four games in Atlanta this season, she has averaged 14.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game.
