Chicago Sky star Angel Reese makes history
Per Kendra Andrews of ESPN, Reese became the first ever Unrivaled player to record 20 points and 20 rebounds in a game. She finished with 22 points and 21 rebounds in the Rose’s fourth consecutive win.
“You know, got to make history,” Reese said. “Being able to see my growth, I put in the work and a lot of people don’t see what I put in. It’s great to see the results out there. But obviously, I’m not done yet.”
Reese said she and her teammates had extra motivation to try and defeat the Owls.
“I think everyone just came out with an extra oomph tonight,” said Reese. “We knew that they were 8-0, and no one believed in us outside of that locker room. It was just us. That’s all that matters. … It takes every petal to make the rose. And tonight, it contributed.”
Reese is finding her rhythm at a good time for the Rose. The Rose are in third place with a 5-4 record after defeating the Owls.
