Angel Reese has her first win with the Chicago Sky.
Chicago took home an 83-74 victory over the Dallas Wings Saturday night, improving to 1-1 on the season.
Dallas held a 42-30 lead at halftime and entered the fourth quarter with a 63-55 lead. However, Chicago rallied in the fourth quarter, outpacing Dallas 28-11, and stole the win.
Diamond DeShields led Chicago with 16 points, five rebounds and three assists. Marina Mabrey had 14 points, nine rebounds and eight assists while Elizabeth Williams, Dana Evans and Chennedy Carter had 12 points. Arike Ogunbowale led Dallas with 35 points.
However, Reese’s performance got lots of buzz as she scored 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds. She was plus-17 and went 3-of-9 on field goals and 5-of-7 from the free-throw line.
Fans took to social media to praise Reese’s improvement and rebounding ability:
This performance was pretty in line with how she did in the season opener, when she scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
The Sky’s offensive depth was responsible for the output, as six players scored at least 10 points in the game. Chicago also dominated on the boards, securing 42 rebounds.
Reese and the Sky will look to build on the win and rise up the Eastern Conference standings. That chance will come Thursday when the Sky travel to take on the New York Liberty at 7 p.m. ET.
