2024 WNBA All-Star Angel Reese also contributed 14 points, nine rebounds and two assists. She was also productive on defense, adding three steals in the win as well.
After the game, veteran post player Elizabeth Williams spoke to the media. She talked about Reese’s growing ability as a passer and how it has helped the Sky win their last two contests.

“She’s done a good job of having vision, sometimes being a relief for (Courtney Vander)sloot bringing the ball up because she gets pressured a lot,” Williams said. “She’s done a good job of just seeing where people are open and making good decisions.”
Reese averaged just 1.9 assists per game during her All-Rookie campaign in 2024, but that number has shot up to 2.8 per contest in 2025. She had five assists in the team’s win over the Wings on Thursday, and she added another two on Saturday.
Chicago’s next game will be on June 7, which is the first matchup of the 2025 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup. The Sky will take on the 2-4 Indiana Fever, who the team lost to 93 to 58 on opening day.
