The Chicago Sky traveled to Los Angeles to face the Sparks over the weekend.

Chicago has been led by head coach Tyler Marsh, who's in his first season with the organization. He's so far helped the Sky boast a 4-11 record.

On Sunday, the Sky were looking to gain momentum, having struggled over the past several weeks. Despite that, one of their four wins this season came against the Sparks, when they beat Los Angeles 97-86 on June 24.

In the most recent matchup against the Sparks, the Sky highlighted a play from Reese, which she happened to convert on multiple times against Los Angeles.

Reese connected on a revere layup, proving that her offensive skill set continues to improve.

"Reverse barbie," posted the official social media account of the Chicago Sky.

The Sky used Reese's original nickname, which she's often referred to as "Chi Barbie." She was also the "Bayou Barbie" in college with the LSU Tigers.

Angel Reese has widely been considered one of the best forwards in the WNBA over her two-year career at the professional level.

She's been an incredible rebounder since her college days at LSU. Last season, her first year with the Sky, Reese led the WNBA with 13.1 rebounds per game.

This season with the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese has taken a step forward on the offensive end. While many view the Sky star as a rebounder and versatile defender, she's deepened her offensive bag, helping Chicago Sky open up the floor with a stretch-4.

During her second season with the Sky, Reese has posted 11.7 points, 12.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.
