The Chicago Sky entered Sunday’s home game against the Indiana Fever winless in two meetings this season versus Caitlin Clark and company. But thanks to an explosive outing from rookie forward Angel Reese, the Sky managed to eke out an 88-87 win to finally score a win against the Fever, who also carried a four-game win streak going into the showdown.
Reese was nearly unstoppable in the entire Fever game. The former LSU Tigers star and one-time NCAA champion generated a massive double-double against the Fever, scoring 25 points on 8/12 shooting from the field and 9/11 from the free-throw line and pulling down 16 rebounds. It was the eighth double-double for Reese and also helped her maintain a double-double average through her first 15 games as a pro.
