Paige Bueckers ruthlessly mocks Liberty vet to her face during a game image

She might be a rookie, but Paige Bueckers doesn't always act like one.

That was on fully display Tuesday night after Bueckers converted a foul into an and-one — and Liberty vet Jonquel Jones immediately signaled that her team should challenge the call.

Not to be outdone, a confident Bueckers began to make the hand signal herself, and even walked all the way up to Jones' face while doing so.

The moment took place toward the end of the fourth quarter, and ultimately resulted in the Liberty deciding against challenging the call.

Bueckers put in a strong performance against the league's defending champions, racking up 21 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists. The Wings ultimately lost 85-76.

Dallas will play the Liberty again on August 8.
