“She really better than Caitlin” – Angel Reese is going VIRAL for win against defending conference champs New York Liberty

While Caitlin Clark struggles to secure her first win, her fellow rookie and rival, Angel Reese, has already experienced victory. However, Reese’s initial win was against a relatively equal opponent. Tonight, she faced a far tougher challenge against the WNBA’s Eastern Conference Champions and this year’s title favorites, the New York Liberty. Reese and her Chicago Sky teammates rose to the occasion, securing a famous victory.

After an evenly matched first quarter, the Chicago Sky went on a rally in the second to take the lead. In the third quarter, the New York Liberty, led by superstars Breanna Stewart and Sabrina Ionescu tried to come back.

However, crucial plays from Reese and her teammates helped them gain the advantage in the fourth quarter to win their second straight game. The former LSU standout particularly picked Stewart once and also did not show any rookie confidence issues going up against two former MVPs guarding the interior.

This win takes the Chicago Sky to third in the Eastern Conference. More importantly, it helped Angel Reese get to the top of the rookie rankings with her team-oriented play. She knows there are stars on her team who can score better.

This win also handed the New York Liberty break their WNBA leading 4-game unbeaten run. Not a small feat considering they have a first-year head coach and a rebuilt roster. No wonder Angel Reese has gone viral on the internet.
