Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese made WNBA history in a win over the Las Vegas Aces

The Chicago Sky picked up arguably their best win of the WNBA season on Tuesday night, defeating the Las Vegas Aces, 93-85 to enter the All-Star break on a high note. Chicago improved to 10-14, one-half game behind the Indiana Fever.

The top eight teams regardless of conference make the WNBA playoffs, so Chicago, which is eighth, has itself in the postseason picture entering the break. This has largely been due to the play of All-Star forward Angel Reese, who made WNBA history on Tuesday night by moving into second place all-time in rookie double-doubles.

Reese had her historic double-double streak snapped in Saturday’s loss to the New York Liberty, but she quickly bounced back with another one in this big win over Las Vegas. The Aces owned the best record (16-7) in the Western Conference entering this game, but fell one-half game behind the Seattle Storm with the loss.

The final line for Reese in the win was 13 points, 10 rebounds and a historic plus-26 plus/minus rating, which no rookie in WNBA history had achieved against Las Vegas:

Chicago’s next game will not come until Aug. 15 when it hosts the Phoenix Mercury. Reese will be in action on Saturday for the WNBA All-Star game. Performances like this are why Reese will join Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark as the only other rookie on the All-Star team.

For the Sky, they get to enjoy this impressive victory while recharging over the long break in the WNBA schedule.
