Chicago Sky, Angel Reese made more disturbing WNBA history in 99-74 loss
The Chicago Sky made plenty of history they’d rather forget in their 99-74 loss to the New York Liberty on Thursday night. The Sky are at -60 in point discrepancy through their first two games in the WNBA, which set a league record.
A shooting percentage of 29.1% against the Indiana Fever and 36.2% against the Liberty played a role in the blowout losses. Angel Reese’s 0-of-8 shooting and five turnovers (Chicago committed 23 turnovers) didn’t help matters in Thursday night’s loss in front of 9,025 fans at Wintrust Arena.
The Chicago Sky’s defense made WNBA history
While offensive woes have been the main story for the Sky in the early season, Chicago’s defense is also to blame for an embarrassing start. Per ESPN and the Associated Press, the Sky’s defense broke a WNBA record for surrendering the most three-point shots to another team in the regular season with 19.
“Led by Natasha Cloud with four 3-pointers and 18 points, the defending champion New York Liberty broke the WNBA regular-season record by making 19 3s in a 99-74 victory over the Chicago Sky on Thursday night,” per the ESPN and AP report.
“Eight of nine Liberty players who attempted a 3-pointer made at least one from deep as the team finished 19-for-34 (56%). The previous team and WNBA highs were 18 3-pointers in a regular-season game. The Las Vegas Aces made 23 3s in a playoff game in 2022.”
Angel Reese wants to make the WNBA’s All-Defensive Team
During the preseason, Reese said her goal for 2025 was to make the WNBA’s All-Defensive Team. Reese created three steals, but she had no blocks and was a -25 on the court against the defending WNBA champs.
During his postgame press conference, Sky head coach Tyler Marsh chalked up the defensive woes to self-inflicted wounds.
“New York imposed their will on us a little bit and took us out of our rhythm,” Marsh said. “That’s a good team, (and) you can’t afford to self-inflict wounds.”
The Sky are set to travel to play the LA Sparks on Sunday and have an opportunity to get their defense back on track. The Sparks are 1-2 and have yet to score 90 points in each of their first three contests in the regular season.
But, Chicago has yet to score 80.
