Seven of those eight free throws came in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">After the contest ended, Reese addressed her anger with the lack of calls from officials: &#8216;I think we fought really hard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;It&#8217;s tough when you talk to officials and I asked them &#8216;hey we only shot two free-throws, we&#8217;ve only been to the free-throw line twice up until the fourth quarter&#8217; and she tells me it&#8217;s not her job.<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-ea72ec894c3426d5\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/100075847-14882301-image-a-1_1751896506326.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Chicago Sky star Angel Reese criticized officials for their lack of calls in her favor\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Chicago Sky star Angel Reese criticized officials for their lack of calls in her favor<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-4437ea3ff586292d\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/100075841-14882301-image-m-4_1751896513536.jpg\" height=\"869\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Reese was getting bullied in the paint by the Minnesota Lynx as Chicago lost on Sunday\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Reese was getting bullied in the paint by the Minnesota Lynx as Chicago lost on Sunday<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-4437ef3faee7286b\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/100075843-14882301-image-a-3_1751896511045.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\" alt=\"MVP front-runner Napheesa Collier (24) scored 21 points and seven rebounds\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">MVP front-runner Napheesa Collier (24) scored 21 points and seven rebounds<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;So I know it&#8217;s frustrating because I know how hard we are battling inside [the paint].<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I think we came down and fought as hard as we could with what we had. I just know that we&#8217;ll continue to grow on this and I think this is a leaping step up for us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Obviously we know we can compete with the best, but that has to be fixed. I don&#8217;t give a damn if I get fined because that s***&#8217;s cheap and I am tired of this s***.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I&#8217;ve been nice and I&#8217;ve been humble with it but I am tired of this s***.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The criticism didn&#8217;t stop there. Reese also went on her social media accounts after the game to post an image of her being grabbed around the waist and competing with two defenders with a single-worded caption: &#8216;diabolical&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Her social media criticism continued when a tweet cited her postgame comments. Reese responded to that tweet featuring her comments about not &#8216;giving a damn&#8217; about being fined, saying, &#8216;idgaf. DO BETTER,&#8217; while tagging the official WNBA account.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">While the Sky ended the game with eight free throws, Minnesota shot 17 free throws on the night.\u00a0Seven of those 17 attempts were taken by MVP front-runner Napheesa Collier. Collier finished with 21 points and seven rebounds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Chicago has five games remaining until the All-Star break. Their next contest is Tuesday night on the road against the Washington Mystics.<\/p>\n<p>                    Share or comment on this article:<br \/>\n                        WNBA star Angel Reese explodes at refs in foul-mouthed rant to leave fans stunned: &#8216;I&#8217;ve been humble but I&#8217;m tired of this s***&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By JAKE FENNER Published: 10:09 EDT, 7 July 2025 | Updated: 10:09 EDT, 7 July 2025 While the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":46156,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[1496,211,1926,62,67,132,68,232],"class_list":{"0":"post-46155","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-angel-reese","9":"tag-dailymail","10":"tag-sport","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us","15":"tag-wnba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114812383643369315","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46155\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46155"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
