Angel Reese Responds to Chicago Sky’s Latest Surge

Through 16 games, the Chicago Sky have struggled to find consistency, holding a 5-11 record and ranking fifth in the WNBA's Eastern Conference.

Their most glaring low point came on June 22, when the Sky dropped a 93-80 decision to the Atlanta Dream, marking their third three-game losing streak of the season. 

Since then, Chicago has won two out of three games, highlighted by a 92-85 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday. In that game, Reese posted a season‑high 24 points and pulled down 16 rebounds, the fourth straight game she’s snagged at least 15 boards, a WNBA first. 

On Wednesday, when asked to reflect on the team’s recent turnaround, Reese pointed to a collective shift in mindset. 

"Since that Atlanta game, you can see a different curve from us," she told reporters. "You can see the intensity, you can see how much energy, the approach of the game. I think everybody’s just coming out hard and wanting to win.

"We’ve let a lot of games slip out of our hands, and we’re tired of it. I mean, you either just sit with it or you get tired of it and boss up and wanna play harder."
