“I hope she mess them up. Thank ya.”

Reese replied and playfully accused Copper of acting "shady" since Unrivaled ended, saying that Kahleah didn't speak to her in Phoenix either:

"Oh yeah I forgot to reply to this too… you been acting real shady since unrivaled too. you didn’t even want to speak in phoenix and had to facetime me after smh."

Copper called Reese a "smarta*s" for her reply and asked her to stop making stuff up on the internet. She then told Reese that the two would meet in Chicago soon:

The Sky forward replied:

"Nah, can we meet outside of the workplace? damn."

Angel Reese had her best shooting night against the New York Liberty on Tuesday

Since the start of this season, Angel Reese has been criticized for her poor shooting. She is averaging 10.1 points per game while shooting 35.8%. Surprisingly, she had her most efficient night on offense against the reigning champs, the New York Liberty, on Tuesday.

The Sky lost 85-66, but Reese was solid, finishing with 17 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals. She went 8-for-13 from the field and 1-for-3 from 3-point range. Lately, many have posted videos on social media, showing Reese working on finishing around the rim.

Judging from her solid performance against New York, Reese's hard work seems to be paying off. Reese and Co. will return to the court to take on the Atlanta Dream on Friday. They are currently 11th in the league, with a 2-6 record.
