Reese Shines with Double-Double, But Sparks’ Explosive Third Quarter Dashes Sky’s Hopes in 91-78 Loss
Angel Reese posted a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds, but the Chicago Sky fell to the Los Angeles Sparks, 91-78, in a road matchup. Kelsey Plum led all scorers with 28 points and added eight assists, making an impressive 6-of-10 from three-point range. Azurá Stevens also contributed with 24 points and eight rebounds for the Sparks, who improved to 2-3 on the season.
The turning point in the game came during a dominant 33-point third quarter by Los Angeles, which expanded their slim 43-39 halftime lead to a 76-64 advantage entering the final period. Chicago couldn’t close the gap in the fourth, allowing the Sparks to coast to a comfortable victory.
For Reese, this game marked her 31st consecutive game with 10 or more rebounds, a notable feat. Despite her efforts, the Sky remain winless at 0-3, and they’ll look to turn things around when they face the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday.
