Angel Reese broke Sylvia Fowles’ record for offensive rebounds in the third quarter, finishing the game with 11 points and 15 rebounds. Despite her performance, Reese was not in a celebratory mood as her team has lost three of their last four WNBA games.
The reporter mentioned Reese’s record-breaking performance, but Reese cut her off, not wanting to hear about it. Reese then praised her opponent, Britney Griner of the Phoenix Mercury, for her impressive statistics in the game. Reese acknowledged the team’s failure to follow the game plan and expressed excitement for their upcoming rematch on Sunday.
