Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese walked into a perfect situation during her rookie season, which allowed her to blossom into one of the WNBA's best players. Head coach Teresa Weatherspoon empowered her to be a major catalyst for the team's offense and defense, and Reese was up to the task.

Out of halftime, Van Lith scored five, Ariel Atkins added four, and Rebecca Allen chipped in three to keep the Sky close, despite a 13-point explosion from Collier for the Lynx. Chicago trailed by just three heading into the fourth.

The countdown is on with less than a week until the WNBA makes its return. All eyes will be on stars such as as Chicago Sky's Angel Reese and Indiana Fever icon Caitlin Clark, as New York Liberty will be looking to defend the Championship.
