SOURCE SPORTS: Angel Reese Drops 25 Points and 16 Rebounds to Lead Sky Over Caitlin Clark and Fever

Angel Reese scored 10 of her game-high 25 points during Chicago’s 18-5 run to close the game, leading the Sky to an 88-87 victory over the Fever on Sunday.

Reese, who notched a career-high 25 points and 16 rebounds, extended her rookie-record streak by posting her eighth straight double-double. This achievement places her in an elite company, and she joined Candace Parker and Sylvia Fowles as the only WNBA players to accomplish this feat.

Caitlin Clark also made headlines, scoring 17 points and setting a franchise record with 13 assists. She became the 10th player and the first rookie in WNBA history to achieve a 17/13 game. Clark’s exceptional playmaking was pivotal in Chicago’s comeback, keeping the team’s offense dynamic and effective.

The Sky’s late-game heroics overshadowed a strong performance from the Fever, who led for much of the game. However, Reese’s dominance on both ends of the court and Clark’s playmaking ensured that Chicago clinched the win dramatically.

This victory boosts the Sky’s playoff hopes, highlighting the impact of their rookie stars. With Reese and Clark setting records and leading by example, Chicago’s future looks promising as they compete in the tightly contested WNBA season.
