Angel Reese expressed her frustrations with the referee's officiating on Sunday when the Chicago Sky took on the Minnesota Lynx. Despite having a slow start to their season, the Sky didn't make it easy for the Lynx, who are one of the top teams this season. While Minnesota ultimately took the victory, Reese believes it could've gone the other way.
In one of the plays in the fourth quarter with two minutes remaining, Reese saw the opportunity to go for an offensive rebound and put the ball back in the rim. However, she didn't appreciate the no-foul call when Bridget Carlton of the Lynx had her hand wrapped around Reese while the Sky star went for the rebound.
Angel Reese vented her frustration with a cryptic jab on X.
"Like hand around my waist is crazy," Reese said. "My man don't even play a lot."

"It's tough when you talk to officials and I asked them, 'Hey, we only shot two free throws. We've only been to the free throw line twice up until the fourth quarter,'" Reese explained. "She tells me it's not her job. It's frustrating because I know how hard we are battling inside."
