The Chicago Sky reacted to Angel Reese's move.
Angel Reese Move Draws 'Hard' Post From Chicago Sky originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky faced the Washington Mystics in an early matchup on Tuesday morning. Reese entered the game on a five-game double-double streak and looked to keep it going.
Turns out, she only needed one half to get there, finishing the first with 10 points, 10 rebounds and one assist as the Sky trailed 40-35.
In the third quarter, Reese dished a pass to teammate Michaela Onyenwere, then cut toward the basket as Onyenwere gave it back. Guarded by Washington’s Kiki Iriafen, Reese caught the ball in the post, turned and finished with her right hand for an and-one.
The Sky posted the video of her finish on social media for fans to see, including a six-word caption.
"A5 goes hard in the paint," the Sky wrote.

Reese went on to miss the free throw with an opportunity to cut the Mystics' lead from 46-39 to 46-40. Regardless, that brought the former LSU Tigers' point total to 12 on the day.
The Sky may only be 5-12 on the 2025 WNBA season, but Reese has continued to show out, and her play hasn't gone unnoticed. She was recently named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week after averaging 19.7 points, 17.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game from June 23-29.
Reese was also named a WNBA All-Star for the second time in her career, and will head to Indianapolis on July 19.
It will be a quick turnaround for the 23-year-old and her squad, as the Sky host the Wings on Wednesday night.
