Reese posted 13 points and nine rebounds and made some clutch plays in the fourth quarter. She also played outstanding defense throughout the game to help contribute to Chicago’s impressive win.

In addition to Reese’s strong night, the Sky had four other players score in double figures. Marina Maybrey led the way with 21 points and seven assists. Michaela Onyenwere added 13 points and Dana Evans and Chennedy Carter chipped in 12 points apiece.

I am loving Angel Reese’s defense so far.
It will take some time for Reese to develop on the offensive end, but she’s already proven to be a skilled defender. She didn’t back down from facing a pair of MVPs in Stewart and Jones, so she has an attitude well beyond her years.
Chicago fans will surely enjoy watching Reese’s game continue to grow. She will look to keep the momentum going when the Sky return to action on Saturday against the Connecticut Sun.
