Angel Reese made history in the WNBA as she tied the record for the most consecutive double-doubles with her impressive performance in the Chicago Sky’s victory against the Seattle Storm. Despite facing foul trouble, Reese managed to score 27 points and grab 10 rebounds, showcasing her skills on the court.
Chennedy Carter also had a standout game for the Sky, scoring a season-high 33 points and coming close to her career-high of 35 points. Carter’s 15-for-24 shooting from the field was a key factor in Chicago’s win, as they evened the season series at 1-1 with their second consecutive victory.
On the other side, the Seattle Storm, who had been on a winning streak, were unable to contain the Sky’s offensive firepower. Star player Jewell Loyd was limited to just 13 points, while Jordan Horston led the Storm with 20 points and Nneka Ogwumike added 16 points to the scoreboard.
Despite Seattle’s efforts to rally back in the game, Chicago’s strong third quarter performance, where they scored 30 points, proved to be the turning point. Carter’s 11 points in the third quarter, along with contributions from rookie Kamilla Cardoso, helped the Sky take the lead and secure the win.
The Storm’s struggles from beyond the arc, shooting just 3-for-19 from 3-point range, also played a role in their defeat. Seattle managed to cut the lead to just two points late in the game, but the Sky held on for the win with key plays from Carter.
With both teams set to face each other again in Seattle, the rematch promises to be an exciting showdown between two talented rosters. Fans can expect another intense battle on the court as the Sky look to continue their winning streak and the Storm aim to bounce back from their recent loss.
