Cameras Catch Angel Reese’s Reaction After Scoring on DiJonai Carrington originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Chicago Sky defeated the Dallas Wings on Saturday by a score of 94 to 83, marking their second win of the 2025 WNBA season. Chicago is now on a two-game winning streak and sits at 2-4 through the first month of the season.
Veteran guard Ariel Atkins led the way for the Sky, pouring in 26 points and grabbing four rebounds. Courtney Vandersloot also chipped in 15 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, and Angel Reese added 14 points and nine rebounds.
Chicago got contributions from several other players en route to their second straight game scoring 94 points or more. The 83 points that they gave up was also their lowest mark of the 2025 season.
Reese made several key plays down the stretch, as she scored four points in the final three minutes to help put the game out of reach. One of these buckets came over Wings guard DiJonai Carrington, who earned First-Team All-Defense honors in 2024.
After Reese scored, she celebrated hard considering the basket pushed the lead to 10 points for the Sky. Cameras caught Reese’s reaction, which was strong considering the gravity of the moment.
