Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese walked into a perfect situation during her rookie season, which allowed her to blossom into one of the WNBA's best players. Head coach Teresa Weatherspoon empowered her to be a major catalyst for the team's offense and defense, and Reese was up to the task.

Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are just days away from tipping off the 2025 WNBA season against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. Reese made a strong impression as a rookie last year, averaging 13.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game.

Out of halftime, Van Lith scored five, Ariel Atkins added four, and Rebecca Allen chipped in three to keep the Sky close, despite a 13-point explosion from Collier for the Lynx. Chicago trailed by just three heading into the fourth.
