The Chicago Sky have talked about their new-look offense under first-year head coach Tyler Marsh for most of the preseason. The offense wasn’t to be found for much of Saturday afternoon after Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever ran Angel Reese and the Sky out of Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Chicago shot just 29.1% in a 93-58 loss to the Fever in front of a raucous crowd of 17,274. Ariel Atkins, Courtney Vandersloot, and Kia Nurse combined for 19 points, one point less than Clark. Clark finished with 20 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds.
Angel Reese was the Chicago Sky’s best player on Saturday
Reese was the Sky’s leading scorer. She finished with 12 points, 17 rebounds, one assist, and five turnovers. She was a -20 on the floor.
Reese and Clark had a heated moment with 4:38 remaining in the third quarter when Reese took exception to a fragrant foul by Clark that put the former LSU star on the hardwood. Reese and Alyiah Boston were called for offsetting technicals when Reese confronted Clark.
Following the game, Reese told reporters that Clark made a basketball play, and the refs made the correct call. Reese appeared understandably frustrated during the second-half collapse and during her presser.
On her Instagram page Saturday night, Reese posted pictures with a legendary caption to her story on the way back to Chicago.
“MY HEART IS SO FULL. MY LOVESSSS,” Reese wrote.
The Sky have a few days to work on their offense before their next contest. They host the New York Liberty on Thursday at 6 p.m. CST. The defending champs knocked off A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces 92-78 on Saturday.
