In the preseason, Dallas played only one exhibition game, while Chicago played two, showcasing their readiness for the upcoming season. Chicago dominated New York in their second exhibition, with Angel Reese making a notable impact by scoring her first WNBA regular-season field goal for a teammate on a reverse play.

Reese demonstrated her versatility and skill throughout the game. At one point, a shot hit the top of the backboard, and though Sigis couldn’t secure it, Reese followed up with a successful play, knocking over Seis and scoring off the glass with an aggressive move. This toughness is what makes Reese such a formidable player, as she can finish effectively with both hands.

Reese continued to impress, scoring five points early on and quickly increasing her tally to seven. Her quick hands and defensive prowess were on full display when she managed to steal the ball from Natasha Howard and take it coast-to-coast for an easy two points.

Dallas, struggling to keep up, saw Reese dominate both ends of the floor. She grabbed her ninth rebound and showcased her playmaking abilities by assisting Natasha Howard, who scored twelve points, pushing Chicago’s lead to four. Throughout the game, it was clear that Reese’s contributions were pivotal, and her aggressive play and quick hands were key factors in Chicago’s success.

Marina Ma also deserves recognition for her outstanding performance, further solidifying Chicago’s strong preseason showing. As the regular season approaches, Angel Reese and her teammates look poised to make a significant impact, riding the momentum of their impressive exhibition performances.
