Angel Reese Makes History in Upset Win Over Aces

Angel Reese helped lead the Chicago Sky to a big win over the Las Vegas Aces, making a bit of WNBA history in the process.

Reese helped the Sky hold off a late rally from the Aces on Tuesday , leading her team to a 93-85 victory in the team's final game before the nearly month-long break during the Summer Olympics.

After watching her all-time streak of double-doubles come to an end in the previous game, Reese stuffed the stat sheet with 13 points and 10 rebounds, adding 3 assists. Reese lifted her team for all 35 minutes she was on the floor, registering a plus-26 in plus/minus.

As StatMamba noted on X , it was the highest plus-minus for a rookie against the Aces in the franchise's history.

Reese also closed in on another WNBA record with her double-double. She now has 17 total on the season, nearing the all-time rookie record of 22 set by Tina Charles in 2010.

The win could give a boost to the Sky, who came into the game as 13.5-point underdogs to the Aces. The win moved Reese and her teammates to within a half-game of the Indiana Fever for third place in the Eastern Conference.
