Angel Reese Scores Triple-Double, Sparks Altercation with Connecticut Sun

Angel Reese delivered a standout performance for the Chicago Sky, recording her first career triple-double with 11 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists in a 78-66 win over the Connecticut Sun, snapping the Sky's three-game losing streak. The game was marked by a tense altercation when Sun guard Bria Hartley grabbed Reese's hair during a rebound contest, leading to a heated exchange involving several players and double technical fouls, though Hartley was only called for a common foul. Despite the confrontation, Reese maintained respect for veteran Sun player Tina Charles, acknowledging the competitive nature of the incident while emphasizing their good relationship. Reese's triple-double made her the third-fastest player in WNBA history to reach this milestone, underscoring her rising impact in the league. The Sky's victory featured balanced scoring with five players in double figures and a career-high 16 points from rookie Hailey Van Lith. Chicago aims to build on this momentum as they prepare for upcoming games, including a home matchup against the Washington Mystics.
