Angel Reese has been one of the WNBA’s main attractions, and her double-double streak has been a highlight of the season.

Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese had been on a tear in the WNBA, carrying a 15-game double-double streak into Saturday’s matchup against the New York Liberty.

However, the Liberty had other plans, as they employed stout defense to prevent her from extending the streak.

The Sky’s tactics were clear, as they tried to get Reese her ninth and 10th points of the game, but the Liberty were prepared.

They brought four players to guard Angel Reese, forcing her to pass the ball back out to the perimeter.

She then finished the game with 8 points and 16 rebounds, just shy of her 16th consecutive double-double. This wasn’t the first time her teammates had tried to get Reese a late-game double-double. Earlier in the week, they had used similar tactics to get her from nine points to 11, extending her streak to 14 games.

In the end, Reese’s streak has come to an end, but her impressive rookie season continues. She has been one of the WNBA’s main attractions, and her double-double streak has been a highlight of the season.
