Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky faced the Atlanta Dream in their 13th game of the season on Sunday. Amid a tough stretch, the Sky suffered their 10th loss of the season.
Reese recorded another double-double, but her struggle on the offensive end continued against the Dream. In the 93-80 loss, Reese played 31 minutes, but failed to lead her team in the fourth quarter slump, with Atlanta outscoring Chicago 24-11.
Reese scored 10 points on 27.33 FG% along with four assists. However, she was excellent on the defensive end, recording a season-high 19 rebounds. She also had three steals and one block. Ariel Atkins scored a game-high 29 points for the Sky.
The Chicago Sky have struggled throughout the season, and a lot of blame has been put on head coach Tyler Marsh. This was their 10th and the fourth consecutive defeat of 2025. Just one loss shy of the 13th seed, the Connecticut Sun, the Sky’s chances of making the playoffs are thinning with every game. Given how Marsh went away from Teresa Weatherspoon’s style of coaching and changed Angel Reese’s role, a lot of blame would fall on him and might even cost him his position.
