Angel Reese logged another standout performance in the Chicago Sky 's 97-86 win over the Los Angeles Sparks , putting up yet another double-double with 18 points and a whopping 17 rebounds. The victory has been a change of pace for the Sky, who were picking up just their fourth win amid a difficult start to the 2025 WNBA season. Post-game, Reese made it clear what the team's agenda should be going forward if the Sky want to maintain the success.

"We have to set the tone every single night," Reese said emphatically. "We've let a lot of games slip away from us in the past, and tonight, we just really wanted to come out and win this one. For our crowd, for ourselves, and for each other."

Sky head coach Tyler Marsh echoed Reese's sentiment when the team returned to the locker room to celebrate.

"This is who we're capable of being. We take care of the ball, and we stay connected when we stay together, when we don't give up, and when we keep fighting and keep giving that effort. This is who we can be," Marsh told his squad.

"That's all that matters, and that's all we need. And we carry this on the road. Now, whatever we do, we lay our effort on the line."

Despite coming out with the victory, the Sky got off to a rocky start in the contest. Chicago fell behind by 12 before crafting an impressive comeback behind Reese's effective efforts and Kamilla Cardoso 's career-high 27 points. The first quarter even included a heated exchange involving Reese and the Sparks' Rickea Jackson that ended when the former de-escalated the situation. At the end of the day, it was Reese who got the final word.
