I have been very critical of Angel Reese and her attitude however, when you accomplish a record like she did you have to give her the respect she has earned. Reese had a consecutive streak of games with Double/Doubles at 15. This is a record she should be proud of and not get too hard on herself.
The Sky were playing the New York Liberty and their game plan was to stop Resse and that was evident from the beginning of the game. The Liberty swarmed Reese from the get-go holding her to 3/13 shooting and 8 total points but, she did have 16 rebounds. Reese is tall and with the poor percentage of shots taken by the Chicago Sky yesterday, there were a ton of rebounds to have. However, with just seconds to go and Reese 2 points shy of yet another double/double the Liberty swarmed yet again as the Sky tried to make an opportunity for her to keep the streak going but the Liberty played hard even while being up almost 20 points.
Setting a record in any sport is an accomplishment in and of itself. If she wants to be Rookie of the Year (and has a shot) she has to brush this off and concentrate on her next game.
