Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are finally out of the loss column.

Chicago was riding a three-game losing streak before playing the Los Angeles Sparks, who were previously ranked one seed ahead of the Sky.

On Tuesday, Reese helped lead the Sky to a 97-86 victory over the Sparks.

After the game, she admitted that the Sky took the matchup against Los Angeles personal, given the team's recent rut.

"Just taking things day by day…our coaching (staff)have did a good job…tonight we took it personal and knowing our matchups….we have to celebrate our small wins…tonight felt really good for us."

Reese also explained that Chicago must set the tone like they did against the Sparks on a consistent basis in order to find success.

"We got to set the tone every single night," Reese said, per Karli Bell. "We've let a lot of games slip away from us. We really wanted to win this one tonight."
