Angel Reese is doing everything she can on the court to will her team to victory, and it is simply not working.
Reese of the Chicago Sky scored a season-high 17 points on 8-of-13 shooting and 11 rebounds in a game against the New York Liberty on June 10, but the team still lost by double digits. She also had three assists in 31 minutes. Her 61.5% field-goal percentage marked a season-best.
Reese delivered a mix of put-back lay-ups, driving finishes, and her second 3-pointer of the season.
This performance marked her 30th career double-double, making her the fastest to reach that milestone in WNBA history.
It wasn’t a perfect performance, as Reese committed five turnovers and was called for a flagrant foul.
Despite her individual success, the Chicago Sky lost 85-66 to the Liberty.
Prior to Tuesday night’s game between the Chicago Sky and New York Liberty, reporters asked Angel Reese if she looks forward to playing in the Big Apple.
