Angel Reese Shines with Chicago Sky

WNBA rookie Angel Reese continued to make headlines on Friday, showcasing her remarkable talent during a closely contested game against the Connecticut Sun. Although the Chicago Sky fell short with an 82-80 loss, Reese's performance was historic; she recorded 20 rebounds and 13 points, becoming only the second rookie in league history, alongside Tina Charles, to achieve multiple 20+ rebound games. Additionally, she made history as the first player to record 20+ rebounds in consecutive games. Reese's achievements this season have been nothing short of extraordinary. Earlier in the week, she became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 20 double-doubles in a single season and has set the record for the most consecutive double-doubles in league history. However, despite her individual success, the Sky have struggled as a team, losing three of their last four games since returning from the Olympic break. Currently, the Sky's record stands at 11-17, placing them in a precarious position as they hold the final playoff spot, just one game ahead of the Atlanta Dream, who are at 10-18. In Friday's game, the Sun's Marina Mabrey shone brightly, leading her team with 24 points, including five 3-pointers, which ultimately contributed to the Sky's defeat. Looking ahead, Reese and the Sky will aim to turn their fortunes around as they prepare to face the Las Vegas Aces at home on Sunday, where Reese will seek to continue her record-breaking form.
