The 23-year-old forward finished with 24 points on 10-of-19 shooting, while also grabbing 16 rebounds. Reese also dished out seven assists, including a nice pass to Ariel Atkins in the second quarter that even caught the WNBA's attention.
Reese made a bit of history in the process as well. Not only did she crack the top 10 of the Sky's all-time rebounding list, but she also set a new record for the most consecutive 15-rebound games with four.
Amid the historic day that Reese had, however, one particular moment really stood out. Her celebration late in the game caught the attention of many.
During the fourth quarter, after muscling her way to a layup over Sparks forward Dearica Hamby, Reese proceeded to mock her opponent by doing the "too little/small" taunt — a move popularized by NBA star Kevin Durant.

BRW Sports made the Durant comparison, sparking a flurry of comments on social media.
"I love her energy! She a dog! 24 pts 16 rebounds and 7 assist," a commenter wrote. Another one said, "TALK IT."
"I love her energy!!!She is getting better and better everyday!! Love to see it," a fan added.
A supporter remarked, "Let them know Angel Reese!"
"She's herrrrrr," a hyped viewer further stated.
A sixth social media user shared, "Love it!! Game high 24 and a win!!! Hates punching the air!!!"

As mentioned, Durant made the celebration popular, having used the gesture a number of times in the past couple of years. Earlier in the 2024-25 NBA season, KD mocked then Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic with the "too small" taunt after hitting a shot over him.

It will definitely be interesting to see what other celebrations Reese will do as the 2025 WNBA season progresses. Perhaps fans will see more NBA-inspired cellys from the young All-Star.

'Need Help': Cody Ware's scary crash sparks outrage over NASCAR's delayed caution
During the Chicago Street Race, Cody Ware slammed into a tire barrier at 93mph and as smoke poured out of his wrecked car, he radioed two chilling words: 'Need help.' But for nearly 35 seconds, nothing happened. NASCAR didn't throw the caution until Shane van Gisbergen took the white flag and the final lap was underway, effectively ending the race under yellow and avoiding an overtime restart. That's now causing backlash from all over the racing world with many calling it unacceptable and dangerous. Advertisement Cody Ware's crash was on the last lap of the Chicago Street Race. A blown brake rotor left him unable to slow down into Turn 6 and he hit the barrier hard. Hard enough that drivers, analysts and fans all thought for sure a yellow would come. But it didn't. Also Read:: NASCAR points leaders today: Cup Series points leaders after Chicago 35 Seconds of Silence as Cody Called for Help In-car audio captured Cody Ware's voice asking for help. His window net was still up so he was still inside and potentially injured. Yet the race continued at full speed as he sat motionless in the runoff. 'It took NASCAR 35 seconds to throw a caution,' wrote reporter Seth Eggert. 'Unreal. Unacceptable.' Joseph Srigley, editor-in-chief at was just as stunned: 'That's a brutal impact… I can't believe that wasn't an immediate caution.'But the delay has raised questions about safety protocols, and what could have happened if Ware couldn't have walked away. Advertisement Thankfully, Ware was able to walk away from the crash without serious injury. The Rick Ware Racing driver himself was surprised by the slow response. 'Obviously, I'm not going anywhere, there's not much I can do at that point,' Ware said after the race. 'At that point I'm just focused on getting out of the car and getting to a safe spot.' Several reports indicate that NASCAR officials did not know how serious the crash was and whether Cody Ware would manage to come out alone. Kind of like what happened to Kyle Larson at this same race last year But this time it was different and the delay was much more costly in terms of public trust. Now that the Chicago race is behind us, the fallout continues. NASCAR's response time is being questioned again and we're asking: why did it take a driver's radioed plea, and 35 seconds, to realize something was seriously wrong? The driver walked away this time. But next time it could cost more. Also Read:: NASCAR results Chicago: NASCAR Cup Series stage results, Chicago Street Race winner Advertisement Related Headlines

Giants All-Star Randy Rodríguez is a development success. What that means for the organization
Randy Rodríguez, All-Star. It has a ring to it, but it would have been an absurd combination of words just a couple months ago. All of us spend months forming offseason opinions and molding them into preseason predictions, but it turns out the only way to be accurate is to say something like, 'Assuming the Giants get Rafael Devers, and Randy Rodríguez is an All-Star, they'll be in decent shape at the break.' Bless this silly sport. Advertisement It doesn't take long to get used to new baseball ideas, though, so it makes perfect sense that Rodríguez is an All-Star this season. By all sorts of metrics, he's been one of the very best relievers in the game, and by some of the metrics, he's been the best reliever. By the ol' eyeball test, he's been astounding. He marries two murderous pitches with impeccable command, and if that sounds like the generic description of a perfect reliever, that's because it is. Murderous pitches have always been Rodríguez's thing, as he's been throwing triple-digit fastballs for years at various levels in the Giants organization. That part about the impeccable command, though? There was a time when that would have seemed like science fiction, something as completely unthinkable as Giants trading for Devers. Rodríguez was always going to have a chance to succeed, but it was going to be with raw stuff. He wasn't supposed to be good at, you know, actually pitching. It's easy to make too much about the development of one player. But if the organization can take credit for some or most of Rodríguez's improved command — and if they can be as successful with other pitchers — it could be the story of the next few years. Every organization knows how to get maximum velocity out of their pitchers now. There isn't a race to be the best at it — it's something more like a 30-way tie for first place. Every team can get 97 mph out of their third-rounder from Calverston State, even the cheapo organizations that pay their analysts and coaches in company scrip. The next frontier is getting these pitchers to put that velocity where it's most helpful. The teams with an advantage there will have a serious advantage until the league catches up. Rodríguez's success doesn't prove the Giants are now adept at turning raw, powerful arms into strike-throwing surgeons. He's a good story, but he's not a trend. Also, to be clear, we're only about 39 innings deep into the idea that he actually is one of those strike-throwing surgeons. Maybe it's wise to keep expectations reasonable on both counts. Advertisement In the meantime, there's nothing preventing us from appreciating the impeccable command that's turned Rodríguez into an All-Star. The stuff was compelling from the very start of the season, but it's the command that's keeping his ERA under 1.00. So this is a good opportunity to highlight the pitches that aren't typically turned into GIFs. These are the pitches that get the least engagement when they get the Pitching Ninja treatment, if they get it at all. These are the quietly nasty pitches that you barely notice at the time. You might have stopped looking at your phone to watch this pitch over the weekend: And if you did, you probably celebrated the pitch by looking right back at your phone. It was a first-pitch strike, nothing more, nothing less. Look at the wondrous majesty of that boring pitch, though! There's a runner in scoring position and an excellent contact hitter at the plate. There's also a healthy lead, a base to play with and two outs. That's a scenario that calls for the exact pitch Rodríguez executed perfectly there. If Jacob Wilson is looking for a slider, he's looking either up or in the middle of the strike zone. If he's looking for a fastball, he's not going to bother with a slider unless it's an obvious hanger. That was a perfect pitch, give or take. And it's the kind of pitch that's more responsible for Rodríguez's development into an All-Star than any other. He's doing it with fastballs, too: Again, that's a pitch that might not have caught your attention, even if you watched it live. The Giants had a four-run lead, and the inning had just started. It was a called strike on 1-1, big whoop. What a marvelous pitch, though. A smooth, easy 98 right on the edge of the zone. A little farther outside, and it's a 2-1 count and a more comfortable at-bat for the hitter. A little more inside, and it might be in the middle of the plate. This is the kind of pitch that a gym teacher from 1964 could appreciate. It's a pitch that Albert Spalding could appreciate. You don't need metrics or spin rates. It's both the perfect pitch and completely unremarkable at the same time. Watch for these pitches the next time Rodríguez is having an effective outing. He's typically good for a few of them in every appearance. He'll also throw a lot of pitches that are quite easy to notice and appreciate, like this one: That would be a 100-mph fastball above the zone in an 0-2 count, to end the inning. It's another perfect pitch, this time in an easier to notice situation. And he has thrown plenty of these kinds of pitches, too. Here's a perfect slider in a situation that would have had your undivided attention: I'm not even sure if that's the kind of pitch that makes for a great GIF. It's just perfect. Nothing Riley Greene can do with it. Now that we've appreciated the corner artistry of Rodríguez, let's take a moment to remember where he came from. When the pandemic hit, he was a teenager with zero command. He had a breakout season when the minors reopened in 2021, forcing the Giants to put him onto the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft, but his ability to throw strikes collapsed. He walked 5.8 batters for every nine innings he pitched in 2022, and that jumped up to 7.3 in 2023. It's not hard to get from the 40-man roster to the majors, especially for a reliever, but he was completely unusable on the active roster back then because he didn't know where the ball was going. He cut that rate to 3.1 in his first taste of the major leagues in 2024. He's nearly halved that number again this season. Advertisement Now watch those videos again with that context in mind. Somewhere over the last couple seasons, the pitcher from the previous paragraph became the artist in those videos. If that's the end of the story, that's a pretty cool story. Look at how Randy Rodríguez can throw pitches of the highest quality, everyone. If it's the kind of success the Giants can have with other pitchers, though, it'll be a much bigger story. Keep your eye on the pitchers in the minors who pair silly strikeout rates with sillier walk rates. See if there are improvements on that front over the next couple seasons. If Rodríguez is a one-off success story, there are still plenty of reasons to celebrate his All-Star selection. If he's not just a one-off success story, though, there will be a lot more All-Star selections — and reasons to celebrate — in the Giants' future.
