The Chicago Sky proudly put their hats on defense. While they could not showcase their frontcourt prowess in the game against the New York Liberty, they surely did against the Las Vegas Aces. Winning a road game in the house of the 2x reigning champions is certainly another feather that they can put in their hats now. Certainly, Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso’s defense mixed with Chennedy Carter’s offense delivered the expected result.

Consequently, head coach Teresa Weatherspoon could not help but appreciate her group’s understanding of her decisions.

In the first half, Chennedy Carter attracted some foul troubles. After a personal foul and a shooting foul, T-spoon moved the WNBA star to the bench. Hence, when a reporter asked the head coach about how the top performer of the team reacted to her decision, she had a simple response. She said in her postgame press conference, “I always talk about the effort and energy. Chennedy and I have a great relationship. We spoke about it. She understands totally. “

The Hall of Famer head coach also appreciated how her rookies are turning up. Talking about the growth of Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso, she mentioned, “They’re growing, they’re learning, and they’re performing.” She also mentioned how the two lottery picks are watching videos, analyzing the issues, and then physically bringing the improvement to the floor.

Certainly, we have seen Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso get much better with the WNBA’s physicality. Let us see how these three performed last night to get the better of a veteran team like the Las Vegas Aces.

Angel Reese and her tri-factor win over the Aces

Back in April when the team announced that they had drafted both Kamilla Cardoso and Angel Reese, the fans could not imagine the two NCAA rivals in the same team. However, since then, they have proven how great they are as a team. Specially, in the paint. Last night, the duo tallied 19 points and 18 rebounds combined.

At the same time, Chennedy Carter also has proven how well she gels with Angel Reese. In fact, the two have come to be known as the “Chenn and Barbie” of Chicago. The veteran guard contributed 34 points against Las Vegas. She was just one point short of tying to her career high. But the fact that they all came together to put up a show in the Michelob ULTRA Arena and avenge their first loss to the Aces was simply electrifying.

Las Vegas had a slow start and the Sky took complete advantage of the same. They led over the Aces in the first and last 10 minutes of the game and gave a tough competition the entire night. Many would agree that they deserved the win simply for their relentlessness. Before the teams meet again in August, the rookie and A’ja Wilson will go head-to-head in the All-Star game on July 20 where Angel Reese will join hands with her NCAA rival Caitlin Clark.
