The third quarter was a defensive slugfest. After a hot start, Angel Reese did not have the same impact on offense. She finished the period with two points, two turnovers and one assist. The Chi Barbie, however, hauled five boards to help her team stay within striking distance of the Lynx, 56-52. Reese tallied a double-double after three-quarters of play.

The Chicago Sky refused to wilt in the fourth quarter behind their newly-named All-Star forward. Reese played the entire period and gave her team a chance to pull off an upset with her two-way play. She scored six points in the last two minutes but could not drag her team to the finish line.

Angel Reese puts on a good show after earning second straight All-Star selection

Heading into Sunday's showdown between the Chicago Sky and the Minnesota Lynx, the WNBA announced the All-Star reserves. Angel Reese earned her second straight appearance in the event after coaches voted her into the team. Reese responded to the recognition by putting on one of her best games this season.

Matched up against Napheesa Collier, the MVP favorite and reigning Defensive Player of the Year, the Sky star more than held up. Collier had 21 points, but she had to work hard for her shots, particularly when faced against the Chi Barbie.

Angel Reese's activity and relentlessness in the paint also caused Collier and the top-ranked Lynx defense trouble.
