Popular WNBA Rookie, Angle Reese came out on top for the first time since facing Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever in the WNBA.
Sky came from behind to defend their home court for an 88-87 victory.
Angel Reese had her best performance as a pro in the win. Reese put up 25 points and 16 rebounds in the effort, extending her rookie-record double-double streak to eight games. She also went 9 for 11 from the charity stripe.

She added a double-double of her own in the matchup: She netted 17 points and 13 assists, adding six rebounds in the effort.
Seven of Clark’s assists went to Aliyah Boston, who ended with 18 points. Guard Kelsey Mitchell led the Fever in points with 24, going 5-for-10 on 3-pointers.
Sky’s Chennedy Carter, also had a massive game with 23 points and five assists. Kamilla Cardoso, the other Sky rookie, earned a double-double of her own with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
It’s the first win for Reese over Clark in the WNBA, and the first win for Reese over Clark since LSU’s championship win over Iowa in 2023.
