It took a while for Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky to figure out a winning formula. After a slight slump that included 4 losses on the trot, the 2021 champions now seem to have found some rhythm going forward. One of the noticeable factors behind this transition may be the right set of players entrusted to provide them with a decent start in every game. A clearer picture in this reference was provided by starting guard Lindsay Allen.

The 29-year-old was accompanied by rookie Kamila Cardoso in the Chicago Sky’s recent media availability. During this, one of the reporters was intrigued to know more about the tactics that are bringing success to the franchise. “We’ve been playing with this new starting unit for 5, 6 games, whatever it’s been. I think we kinda have a flow now. We know what each person likes. We’re feeding our posts. Chennedy’s got going, Marina’s finding her spots, and then Angel’s kind of doing everything for us out there,” Allen told reporters.

Head coach Teresa Weatherspoon’s current starting 5 comprises rookies Angel Reese, and Kamilla Cardoso, veterans Marina Mabrey, and Lindsay Allen to go along with their latest addition Chennedy Carter. These have been the go-to players for Weatherspoon after their narrow loss against the Washington Mystics. Since then, Carter and Allen have replaced Diamond DeShields and Dana Evans in the starting lineup.

Consequently, the reformed line-up is sitting well with their 7th overall pick Angel Reese who is on the cusp of making history.

Glory awaits Angel Reese

Chicago Sky’s back-to-back encounters against the Seattle Storm provide an opportunity for the former LSU standout to etch her name into the record books. As it turns out, another double-double will tie her with WNBA legend Candace Parker’s tally of 12 consecutive double-doubles, the most in league history.

Following this, she will have the chance to take a shot at the all-time double-double record against the very same opponents at the Climate Pledge Arena. Furthermore, Reese currently has the longest double-double streak for a rookie in the league. She accomplished this feat in Chicago’s home victory against the Dallas Wings.

An already memorable rookie season can become more glorified for Angel Reese. Fans will hope that she can repeat her clinical exhibition for 2 more games. Moreover, her personal achievements can also take a part in strengthening the team’s chances for this year’s playoffs.
