“It’s tough when you talk to officials, and I ask them, ‘Hey, we only shot two — we only been to the free-throw line twice, up until the fourth quarter,’” Reese said. “And she tells me its not her job. It’s frustrating because I know how hard we’re battling inside and I think we came down and fought as hard as we could inside. That has to be fixed.
“I don’t give a damn if I get fined because that s— cheap, and I’m tired of this s—. I’ve been nice and I’ve been humble, but I’m tired of this s—.”
The Sky average 18.3 free throws, ranking 10th among the league’s 13 franchises. The Washington Mystics lead the league at 24.6 free throws per game. The Seattle Storm rank last at 15.9 per game.
Reese, who averages 12.6 points, 12.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists, is attempting 4.4 free throws per game, ranking 13th among all players.
