In an electrifying matchup on Thursday night, the Chicago Sky secured a 90-81 victory over the New York Liberty, pushing their season record to 2-1.

Reese’s postgame comments seemed to take aim at Caitlin Clark, the highly-touted No. 1 pick for the Indiana Fever, who is still in search of her first professional win.
Although Reese did not name anyone specifically, her message was clear.
“And that’s on getting a WIN in a packed area not just cause of one player on our charter flight. #SKYTOWN,”Reese posted on her official X account.
This statement came in the wake of the Fever’s ongoing struggles, having yet to secure a victory this season and losing twice to the New York Liberty.
The Fever will face the Los Angeles Sparks next and will host the Sky on June 1, a game already brimming with anticipation due to the underlying rivalry between Reese and Clark.
Reese’s performance against the Liberty was instrumental in the Sky’s victory, particularly in the fourth quarter where she scored eight of her total 13 points.
Her clutch and-one layup with two minutes remaining sealed the deal for Chicago.
Marina Mabrey led the team with an outstanding 21 points, six rebounds, and seven assists, while Michaela Onyenwere added 13 points and five rebounds.
Dana Evans and Chennedy Carter also made significant contributions with 12 points each.
Defensively, Reese played a crucial role in limiting Liberty star Breanna Stewart to just 18 points.
This defensive effort was key to handing the Liberty their first loss of the season.
Reese vs Clark rivalry set to take WNBA center stage
Much of the season’s buzz has surrounded Caitlin Clark, but Angel Reese is making her presence felt.
Reese’s consistent performance, scoring over ten points in each of her first three games, has set her apart from other rookies.
She also set a franchise record with 26 rebounds over these initial games.
The ongoing rivalry between Reese and Clark dates back to their college days, highlighted by LSU’s victory over Iowa in the 2023 national title game, and Iowa’s subsequent elimination of LSU in the Elite 8 earlier this year.
This history only adds more intrigue to their upcoming WNBA matchup on June 1.
