WNBA star Angel has been on a roll over the Chicago Sky's past few games after a slow start to the season. On Saturday, she extended her hot stretch with another historic game, this time against the Minnesota Lynx.

Reese finished with a monster double-double of 19 points and 11 rebounds, along with four assists and two steals to help the Sky take the 87-81 victory.

With her performance, the 23-year-old forward became the fastest player to reach 40 double-doubles, according to Polymarket Hoops. Not only that, but she also became the fastest player to reach 250 rebounds in a single season.

Following the game, Reese reflected on her performance and the overall experience of playing in front of the Chicago fans at home. The two-time All-Star couldn't help but compare the atmosphere from Saturday's game to her past experiences where fans were really into the game.

"i felt like i was at the DOME today in Baltimore IYKTYK straight black top vibes," Reese wrote, as she shared a video of one of her plays during the game that had the fans at Wintrust Arena hyped up.
