Angel Reese Records Historic Triple-Double as Chicago Sky Defeat Connecticut Sun

Angel Reese achieved her first career triple-double with 11 points, 13 rebounds, and a career-high 11 assists, helping the Chicago Sky defeat the Connecticut Sun 78-66 in the WNBA Commissioner's Cup game. At 23, Reese is the second-youngest player in league history to record a triple-double, with Caitlin Clark holding the record at age 22. The Sky's bench dominated, outscoring the Sun reserves 36-2, with rookie Hailey Van Lith contributing a career-high 16 points and Kia Nurse adding 11 points on perfect shooting. Despite strong performances from Marina Mabrey, who scored 22 points with five 3-pointers, and Tina Charles with 19 points, the Sun fell to a 2-8 record, matching their worst start in franchise history. The game featured physical altercations, including Reese receiving a technical foul after a confrontation involving hair-pulling by a Sun player. Chicago's balanced attack and strong free-throw shooting in the first half helped them take and maintain the lead through the fourth quarter.
