Angel Reese had another impressive game for Team USA in the FIBA Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament. Against New Zealand on Sunday, the Chicago Sky star recorded nine points on 4-of-5 shooting, along with four rebounds, two steals and two blocks.

The 23-year-old forward had plenty of highlight plays during the contest, although her dual-threat display in the second quarter particularly stood out.

Reese made a key stop by blocking a New Zealand player inside the paint. After Team USA forced a turnover on the play, Reese quickly shifted to offense and ran to the other end of the court for a tough layup.

USA Basketball called her a "dual-threat" for the defensive and offensive showing, highlighting how she got "it done on both ends of the floor."

The FIBA organization was equally impressed by what Reese did and included it as one of the top 10 plays of Day 4 of the qualifiers.

FIBA announced the development on Monday, writing in the caption, "Watching these in loop. Enjoy the Top 10 Plays of #FIBAWWC Qualifying Tournaments Day 4, presented by Nike."

Naturally, Reese's fans were hyped to see the Sky forward make it to the list, with one writing, "BEST TWO WAY PLAYER AR9."

"Lets go Reeeseeeee," a hyped supporter wrote, along with several fire emojis. Another one said, "Yes all-round Barbie AR9."

"AR9 2-Way Player..Rebounds, blocks, steals & buckets," a commenter stated.

An impressed follower added, "AR9 America’s Barbie."

"YES SIR AR," a sixth poster exclaimed.

Reese has been sensational for Team USA through four games. She has scored a combined total of 30 points and leads the squad in rebounds by a wide margin with 32. Kiki Iriafen has the second-most rebounds on the team with 21.

The two-time WNBA All-Star also has the fifth-best plus-minus rating on the team at +93, further highlighting her impact on the court.

Team USA will play Spain on Tuesday in its final game of the FIBA Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament. Sure enough, it will be interesting to see whether Reese gets to start and if she can deliver another noteworthy performance.
