The bad news for the Chicago Sky on Tuesday night is they were absolutely dominated by the Minnesota Lynx, 91-68, to drop to a disappointing 7-16. The one bright spot — as has been the case for most of the season — was star forward Angel Reese having another big game and making some WNBA history.
Reese finished Tuesday's game with her 10th consecutive double-double, scoring 11 points and pulling down 11 rebounds in the loss.
It is the second time that she has recorded 10 consecutive double-doubles, making her the first player in WNBA history to ever achieve such a feat.
Angel Reese Makes HISTORY… Again!

Angel Reese drops her 10th straight double-double, becoming the only player in WNBA history with multiple streaks of 10+ double-doubles.

She has averaged a double-double (by a wide margin) per game throughout her young career.
Reese has been a polarizing player in the eyes of fans and media, but there is no denying the numbers she consistently puts up. And while offensive production and efficiency were legitimate concerns for much of her rookie season, and even in the early part of this season, she has shown considerable improvement in that area over the past few weeks.
Including Tuesday's game she has finished better than 50% from the field in nine of her past 13 games, including six games where she was better than 53%.
She topped 50% just once in her first 12 games.
If she can maintain that sort of offensive production, combined with her defense and work on the glass, she would become an even more impactful player on both ends of the floor.
The bigger concern for the Sky, however, might be putting enough help around her to help the team take advantage of her production and skillset. So far, that has not happened in the first season-and-a-half of her career.
