Angel Reese Makes WNBA History in Chicago Sky's First Win originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky secured their first win of the 2025 WNBA season with a 97-92 victory over the Dallas Wings at Wintrust Arena. The game was a tightly contested battle, with both teams exchanging leads throughout. In the closing minutes, the Sky, led by Kamilla Cardoso's 23-point, eight-rebound performance, executed crucial plays on both ends of the court to seal the win, showcasing their resilience and determination.

After a quiet first half, where she recorded just one point and six rebounds, Reese finished the game with six points, nine rebounds, and five assists. Her most significant contribution came in the final moments, delivering a clutch assist to Cardoso, who converted the go-ahead basket, putting the Sky ahead.

Reese's dominance on the boards has been a hallmark of her young career. She led the league in offensive rebounds last season and continues to excel in that area, averaging 6.0 offensive rebounds per game. She also recently became the fastest player to 500 points and 500 rebounds.
