    Angel Reese Is Blowing Up Online For Taunting Alyssa Thomas In Sky-Sun

    Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are playing a spicy game against the Connecticut Sun. A physical matchup between both teams started with Chennedy Carter hitting Marina Mabrey in the face and continued when Reese taunted Alyssa Thomas on the offensive end.

    Carter was given a flagrant foul for her act against Mabrey in the first quarter.

    Reese then followed that tenacity and aggressiveness with her own teasing act.

    The talented rookie drove into the paint against WNBA All-Star and Team USA member Alyssa Thomas, who many view as one of the strongest players in the league.

    Despite Thomas' track record, Reese was able to force her way into the paint and find the bottom of the net against the WNBA veteran.

    She backed down Thomas, missed her first attempt at a layup, grabbed the offensive rebound and then followed it with a made basket. After she scored the ball, Reese turned back to Thomas and hit the talented forward with the "too little" celebration.

    Reese's smack talk against Thomas has already been posted by over 20 fan accounts, with over 30k combined views.

    Reese's ability to clean the glass has made her one of the best players in the WNBA.

    She's currently averaging 13.6 points and 12.3 rebounds per game, leading all rookies in average rebounds while being the only first-year player to average a double-double.

    The rookie didn't just taunt a role-player. She was talking smack to one of the most talented players in the WNBA.

    Thomas recently secured a gold medal with Team USA after they knocked off France in the Olympic Final. She added to her lengthy resume in the women's basketball community, having already been named to five WNBA All-Star teams.

    The 32-year-old is currently averaging 11.4 points, 9.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game.
