Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky’s slump continued on Friday night with the team’s third straight loss and seventh of the season, this time against the Atlanta Dream.
Sky general manager Jeff Pagliocca said earlier this week that the team would need to see more production out of the former LSU star, but Reese struggled to turn things around in the 88-70 loss that saw the Dream’s Rhyne Howard drop a season-high of 36 points and a career-high nine three-pointers.

"We’ve got to do a better job of stopping the bleeding as it’s going," head coach Tyler Marsh told reporters after the game.

"I think we did about as good a job as you could do defensively in that first half and for parts of that third quarter and executed our defensive game plan. But we’ve got to continue to put together a full 40-minute game."
Reese went 0-for-2 in the first quarter but recorded five rebounds and two assists. She followed that in the second with eight points and went 3-for-4. But the Sky’s attempt at turning things around faltered in the third as Atlanta pulled away. She finished the game with 12 points and nine rebounds.
Statistically, Reese has struggled this season, compared to last year’s All-Star-worthy performance.
