Angel Reese makes WNBA history with latest double-double streak as Sky fall to Lynx
Angel Reese is on a double-double streak once again.
The Chicago Sky star recorded her 10th-straight double-double on Tuesday night in their 91-68 loss to the Minnesota Lynx. That made her the first player in WNBA history to rack up multiple streaks of at least 10 straight games with a double-double.
Reese's current streak dates back to their loss to the Atlanta Dream on June 22, when she had 10 points and 19 rebounds. There are actually just five games this season in which Reese has fallen shy of that mark. She entered Tuesday's game averaging 14 points and 12.6 rebounds per contest.
Reese went on a 15-game double-double streak last year in her rookie campaign with the Sky. She averaged 13.6 points and 13.1 rebounds per game last summer and finished in second in the Rookie of the Year race behind Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark. They Sky went just 13-27 last season, missed the playoffs and parted ways with head coach Teresa Weatherspoon.
Reese dropped 11 points and 11 rebounds in their blowout loss to the Lynx on Tuesday night, which marked their first game back from the All-Star break. She secured her double-double midway through the fourth quarter after driving in and sinking a tough contested layup in the paint.
Reese also picked up her seventh technical foul of the season in the loss. If she's assessed another one, she'll face an automatic one-game suspension from the league.
But despite her double-double, the Lynx still rolled to the dominant win. All five of their starters finished in double figures, with both Napheesa Collier and Kayla McBride putting up 19 points a piece. They shot nearly 45% from the field as a group and held the Sky to just 12 points in the third period while breaking the game wide open. That pushed the Lynx to 21-4 on the season, and a perfect 13-0 at the Target Center in Minneapolis.
Kamilla Cardoso also had a double-double for Chicago with 10 points and 10 rebounds in the loss. Kia Nurse finished with 16 points and eight rebounds. Those two, along with Reese, were the only players to hit double figures for the Sky.
The Sky now sit at 7-16 on the season, which is the third-worst record in the league ahead of only the Dallas Wings and Connecticut Sun. Reese and the Sky will be back in action next on Thursday against the Seattle Storm.
