Angel Reese Shows Fire After Late-Game Drama

The game between Angel Reese ’s Chicago Sky and the Washington Mystics was wild near the end. Tied at 77, Mystics forward Shakira Austin missed two free throws, got her own rebound, and scored. Reese thought there was a foul and didn’t hide how she felt.

After a timeout was called, she smacked a clipboard out of an assistant coach’s hands.

Still, she tied the game at the line. But Austin answered right back with two free throws to seal the W for the Mystics.
