Chicago Sky in Disbelief Over Angel Reese Play Against Valkyries

The Chicago Sky entered Friday night's game against the Golden State Valkyries with a 4-10 record during the 2025 WNBA season.

With a victory, Chicago would have consecutive wins for just the second time this season, and they would move into 10th place in the league standings.

Chicago scored just 34 points in the first half of the contest, as they trailed 39 to 34 at the break. The team shot just 30.3% from the floor and turned the ball over six times (via Karli Bell).

In the third quarter of the matchup, however, Reese got things going with an impressive three-pointer.

After the shot went in, the Chicago Sky reacted to the made three-pointer on their social media. This was just the seventh make from beyond the arc of Reese's two-year WNBA career.

The team was not surprised that Reese made the shot, but that the All-Star forward was able to lull her defender to sleep before draining the basket while being guarded closely.

"I’m sorry the PAUSE, SCAN, and THREE???" the Sky wrote.

Reese was named to both the All-Star and All-Rookie teams in 2024 after averaging 13.6 points and a league-record 13.1 rebounds per game in her first season.

In her second year, she is still leading the league with 11.9 rebounds per contest, and she is also contributing 11.3 points per night. She has eight double-doubles this season as well.

After Friday's game against the 7-7 Valkyries, the Sky will remain on the West Coast for the second game of their road trip. They will take on the 5-11 Los Angeles Sparks on Sunday at 4:00 p.m. ET at Crypto.com Arena.
