Second-year forward Angel Reese led the way with a historic performance, recording her first career triple-double and becoming the youngest forward in WNBA history to achieve the feat.
Reese finished with 11 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, three steals, and two blocks in 36 minutes of action. The former LSU star went 2-for-7 from the field, a perfect 7-for-7 from the free-throw line, and committed just two turnovers.
After the win, Reese delivered a strong message to Sky fans, urging them to “trust the process” as the team continues to find its rhythm following a 13-27 finish last season and a sluggish start to the current one.
“The Sky has done a great job having my back through everything,” Reese said. I love being here, 1 enjoy it. Obviously it has been a bumpy road and it hasn’t been easy, but I want everyone to trust the process.”
Fans reacted to Reese’s statement:
