Chicago Sky Angel Reese makes WNBA double-double history in 83-72 win over Dallas Wings….

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese made WNBA history Thursday as she registered her seventh consecutive double-double against the Dallas Wings — the longest streak ever for a rookie. Reese registered 16 points and a career-high 18 rebounds in the 83-72 win.

“I’m just happy we finally won, and at home,” Reese said in the broadcast after the game. “It’s super exciting for myself. I try to give myself some grace and tell myself I’m doing a good job. But I have so much more to grow and I’m just excited to be in this league and excited to win some more.”

Reese came out strong and put up seven rebounds in the game’s first eight minutes, six of which were defensive rebounds. She has had games in which she struggles finishing around the basket, but she was efficient on Thursday by going 7-for-13 from the field.

The former LSU Tiger just surpassed the six-game double-double streaks set by Tina Charles in 2010 and Cindy Brown in 1998. Charles’ 22 double-doubles is still the rookie season record, which she set in 2010. Reese has already put up eight double-doubles and has 26 games remaining in the regular season.
