There was little doubt that Angel Reese was the best player on the court for the Chicago Sky on Saturday. Reese recorded a double-double, scoring 12 points and 17 rebounds in a game the Indiana Fever won 93-58 in front of 17,274 fans at Gainbridge Arena.

Reese only had one assist, made no steals or blocks, and gave up five turnovers in the loss. She was a -20 on the court. Those numbers don’t sound impressive, but newcoming starters Courtney Vandersloot, Kia Nurse, and Ariel Atkins combined for just 19 points, eight assists, and eight rebounds.

Saturday’s game was a shock for the Sky, who were shot out of the building by Caitlin Clark and the Fever. Clark was the best player on the court, recording a triple-double on 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. She also recorded two steals and four blocks.

Sky face backlash for Angel Reese post

Fans on social media taunted the Sky for making Reese the Player of the Game after she was outplayed by the Fever on Saturday.

“Celebrating a losing effort,” posted a fan.

“Didn’t know we gave out POTG awards for teams that lost by 35,” wrote another.

“On 5-14 shooting. You can’t be serious,” suggested a fan.

“Losing by 35 shouldn’t warrant a play of the game recognition… So basically everyone is getting participation trophies,” believes a poster.

“Y’all still gassing these double doubles while losing by almost 40 as if it means something,” commented another.

“More shot attempts than points..,” posted a fan.
