Sky's Angel Reese sets WNBA record with 10th straight double-double - ESPN

CHICAGO — Kayla McBride scored 16 points, Napheesa Collier had 13 points and 11 rebounds, and the Minnesota Lynx spoiled a record-setting day from Chicago rookie Angel Reese, rallying for a 70-62 victory over the Sky on Sunday.

Reese broke a WNBA single-season record with her 10th straight double-double, finishing with 10 points and 16 rebounds. Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks set the previous record in 2015.

McBride made two 3-pointers and added 5 rebounds and 5 assists for the Western Conference-leading Lynx (14-4), who were coming off a 94-88 loss at last-place Dallas that ended their seven-game winning streak.

Collier had six assists while recording her 11th double-double of the season. Alanna Smith had 11 points and 7 rebounds.

Sky rookie Angel Reese now holds the record for the longest double-double streak within a season in WNBA history.

Reese had a poor shooting day, going 4-of-16 from the floor and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line. She got to 10 points on the second of two free throws with 23 seconds to play.

«She's gonna continue to do what she does, that's who she is, she's always gonna come out and play hard and confident and give you everything that she has,» Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon said. «She's the hardest person on herself, so proud of what she's doing and what she'll continue to do.»

Chennedy Carter scored 15 points for Chicago. Lindsay Allen made three 3-pointers and scored 13, adding 7 assists and 6 rebounds. Marina Mabrey scored 11 on 4-of-17 shooting.

The Lynx trailed by 51-42 on a jumper by Carter with 2:58 left in the third quarter but cut the deficit to five at the end of the period on a long jumper at the buzzer by Collier.

Minnesota clamped down defensively in the fourth quarter,
