Atlanta Dream star Allisha Gray isn't afraid to insult the WNBA's referees, she made that abundantly clear this weekend.
Earlier this Saturday, the Dream suffered an 88-83 loss to the Golden State Valkyries at home. After starting off the season 12-4, Atlanta has lost its last five games. There's most definitely frustration settling in right now.
That being said, Gray took her frustration out on the refs during an in-game interview with CBS Sports.
"You just gotta keep playing," Gray said. "The refs are trash, but we're moving on from that. We just got to lock in, stick to the gameplan and keep playing aggressive."

Gray finished Saturday's game with 22 points on 5-of-17 shooting from the field. It wasn't exactly an efficient day at the office for her.
While we're not denying the WNBA has been incredibly inconsistent when it comes to officiating, the Dream can't just pin their losing streak on the refs.
Looking ahead for the Dream.
After the Dream lost their fifth game in a row, Angel Reese pointed out what's been going wrong for them.
"Absolutely no excuse, we just have to be better," Reese said. "We haven’t shot great, not just from our free throws but from the field. We have to go back to the drawing board, we know we’re a good team."
It's hard to argue against Reese's comments. The Dream went 23-of-33 from the free throw line and 8-of-26 from beyond the arc on Saturday.
The Dream will try to get back in the win column on Thursday when they face the Seattle Storm.
