WNBA Fans In Disbelief Over What Angel Reese Did in Liberty-Sky Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Chicago Sky entered Tuesday’s clash with the New York Liberty looking to rebound from Sunday’s lopsided 79-52 loss to the Indiana Fever. That blowout was compounded by the season-ending ACL injury to point guard Courtney Vandersloot and ongoing offensive struggles from Angel Reese, who finished the night with just four points.

Reese’s season stats entering Tuesday were 9.1 points and 12.3 rebounds per game. While her rebounding remains elite—she’s pulled down more boards than she’s scored points, a rare achievement in the WNBA—her offensive efficiency has lagged, with a 30.9% field goal percentage, sparking concern from WNBA fans.

However, in sharp contrast to her rocky starts in previous games, Reese exploded out of the gate to begin Tuesday’s contest. She recorded seven points and six rebounds in a dominant first quarter.
Among those points was a rare three-pointer—a surprise shot to many, given she’s not known for her perimeter shooting, and had made just four in her WNBA career entering the game.
Fans on social media quickly took notice:

“WOWOWOW,” a fan posted.
“Ohh okay !!” another fan wrote.
“We need you to do this more often, Angel,” a third fan added.
“Angel Reese for three Abnormal happenings in New York,” another fan wrote.
“Angel Reese from three wow!!!” another fan said.
“ANGEL FOR THREE?” one asked.
Reese has faced criticism for her offensive output, yet this early showing against a strong Liberty defense suggests she may be beginning to address those concerns head-on. However, Chicago still entered the break down 52-32.
