Chicago\u2019s All-Star forward Angel Reese put up a<\/a> 19-point and 11-rebound double-double. She made 8 of 14 shots from the field en route to adding her name to the WNBA history books.<\/p>\n

Reese became the fastest player in league history to reach 40 career double-doubles and 250 rebounds in a single season. Meanwhile, her teammate Ariel Atkins led the team in scoring with 27 points.<\/p>\n

Following the Sky\u2019s seventh triumph of the season, the veteran guard shared her thoughts on how Reese has been working on improving her mid-range shot.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet it fly,\u201d Atkins told a reporter<\/a> on Monday. \u201cIf you\u2019re working on something, you’ve got to let it fly. You\u2019re only going to get better at it and build the confidence, doing it in the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Atkins’ comments come as Reese has been slowly adding more mid-range shots to her arsenal of scoring options. However, she has struggled at times and hesitates to shoot.<\/p>\n

Her teammate believes that if Reese makes quicker decisions and \u201ctrusts her game,\u201d it will help her shot become \u201csolid.\u201d However, Reese has struggled with limiting her turnovers.<\/p>\n

During Saturday\u2019s game, she ended with six, but has had others where she only had two or three turnovers. However, her rebounding has remained a strong feature of her game.\u00a0She is currently averaging<\/a> 12.8 rebounds per game alongside 13.6 points per game.<\/p>\n
