Diana Taurasi kisses Seimone Augustus on the cheek after the two were battling for court position during Game 1 of the Western Conference finals.
If you can't beat her, kiss her.
That was apparently Diana Taurasi's strategy during Thursday night's WNBA playoff game as the former UConn star's Phoenix Mercury team was getting drilled by the Minnesota Lynx.
The ref races in two separate the team WNBA players just before Taurasi plants the kiss.

The pair, who have played together on the U.S. national team, were both hit with fouls on the play. The Lynx, with Augustus scoring 18 points, won the game, 85-62.
Taurasi, the former UConn star, appears stunned after both players are called for a foul.
After ESPN featured the kiss on a 'sentimental smooches' segment on Friday morning, Augustus tweeted: "Only Diana can create such craziness Gotta Love It! WNBAPlayoffs."
So apparently no need for the two to kiss and make up when the teams meet in Game 2 in Phoenix on Sunday.
