Reese, who entered the night with eight consecutive double-doubles, did her part. The 6-foot-3 forward recorded another double-double with 20 points, 10 rebounds and three assists.<\/p>\n<p>Reese also made franchise history, becoming the fifth fastest Sky player to reach 750 career regular season points. The 23-year-old did it in 55 games.<\/p>\n<p>It was a positive night for Reese individually, but for the Sky as a team, it wasn\u2019t. Minnesota outscored Chicago by 15 in the second half as they took this one 91-78. Napheesa Collier led the way for the Lynx, adding 29 points, three rebounds and five assists.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5) drives to the basket against the Minnesota Lynx.\u00a9 Matt Marton-Imagn Images\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/754e16c1ff2e34c87b9882f89c061c59.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5) drives to the basket against the Minnesota Lynx.\u00a9 Matt Marton-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>The Sky will regroup and face the Atlanta Dream on Wednesday before heading into the All-Star break.
