Angel Reese kept her foot on the gas on Sunday, leading the Chicago Sky to a crucial 92-85 road victory against the Los Angeles Sparks. 

The Sky entered Sunday's contest with four losses in their last five games and were in dire need of a victory. Reese knew that she needed to step it up yet again to achieve this objective, and that's exactly what the second-year forward did. 

Reese went off for 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting, 16 rebounds, seven assists, a steal and two blocks in 38 minutes of action. In the process, the former LSU star made history by becoming the first player to register 15 or more rebounds for four straight games. 

That wasn't the only milestone Reese achieved on Sunday, either, and the fact that she made franchise history as well left the WNBA in disbelief. 

"Angel Reese notched her 36th career double-double while entering the @chicagosky 's all-time top 10 for rebounds... in just her SECOND SEASON " the league posted on X. 

The league emphasized in its post that despite everything she's achieved thus far, Reese is still just in her second season. The WNBA even added disbelief and fire emojis to drive home the message.  

After Sunday's historic performance, Reese is now averaging 12.4 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.8 steals in 30.8 minutes per game. 

The Sky have been far from the best team in the league--they improved to 5-11 after their win over the Sparks--but there's no denying that Reese has been an absolute force in her sophomore campaign.
