Angel Reese through four quarters vs Washington Mystics

Reese’s presence had an immediate impact for the Sky. She gave the team another reliable offensive facilitator and helped spark in post-to-post execution. The former LSU standout came out strong, tallying nine points and five rebounds in the opening quarter alone.

She delivered one of the game’s early highlights in the second quarter, dishing out a crafty assist to Cardoso while sitting on the floor after securing a rebound.

Reese secured yet another double-double by the end of the third quarter, continuing her impressive individual season. However, the Chicago Sky trailed by 11 points heading into the final period.
