Chicago Sky teammate fed up with an Angel Reese problem

While the Chicago Sky made progress in their third game of the year on offense by finishing Sunday’s contest with a shooting percentage of 46.4%, the team could not finish another contest within 10 points of their opponent.

The Sky led the league with a minus-60 point differential through two games. Chicago made that 73 with a 91-78 loss to the LA Sparks in front of 11,422 fans at crypto.com Arena.

Following the game, Angel Reese told the media that the team was not happy or satisfied with the outcome. She knows the team has a long way to develop if they want to play competitive basketball in the regular season, much less worry about the playoffs.

One of the Sky’s biggest issues on Sunday was turnovers. Reese accounted for four of Chicago’s 17 turnovers against the Sparks.

Elizabeth Williams: Turnovers are killing us

During her press conference, Elizabeth Williams said turnovers and defense killed the Sky’s chances of winning their first game of the season on Sunday.

“I thought we were a little more disruptive today than we’ve been in the last couple of games, but we did let their runs go on too long,” Williams said. “I think that’s what ultimately hurt us outside of turnovers.”

With Reese sitting beside her, nodding, Williams answered a question about the Sky’s biggest challenge on the court by reiterating that turnovers are hurting the offense.

“I think we have to offensively just take care of the ball,” Williams said. “Value possessions. Move it. When we get good possessions, we’re scoring off them.”

Angel Reese is a turnover machine for the Chicago Sky

The Sky are averaging 19 turnovers per contest. Reese is committing the most turnovers for Chicago at 4.7 a game, more than double Courtney Vandersloot’s 2.3 turnovers per game, the second most on the team.

The Sky have asked Reese to play more point forward this season. She has seen her turnover rate more than double from 2024, when she averaged 2.2 turnovers per game.

Reese’s turnover issue is clearly holding Chicago back, and Williams understands it must be fixed quickly if the team has any chance of winning games, let alone scoring 80 points for the first time in 2025.
