The Chicago Sky's sensational rookie secured her 15th consecutive double-double in Thursday night's 91-76 loss to the New York Liberty. The 17,758 basketball fans set a home attendance record at Barclays Center.
Saturday, July 13, 2024 12:32AM Angel Reese was happy to keep her record streak alive, she just wished it had resulted in a win.
It was the second time in two days that it came down to the final minutes for her to keep the streak going. On Wednesday, she did it by hitting two free throws in the final few seconds of a win at home against Atlanta.She struggled against New York's big front line on Thursday and had just four points and three rebounds at the half. She got her 10th point with just under 4 minutes left and then corralled three rebounds over the next 2 minutes to achieve the feat.
"She goes hard, she's not out there for records, she's out there for wins," Chicago coach Teresa Weatherspoon said. "She puts in the work, it just so happens every time you look at the stat sheet there she is again with a double-double. I'm sure she'd want the win more than just the double-double."
