The Chicago Sky entered Sunday’s matchup against the LA Sparks having made WNBA history by being the first team to lose its first two games of the regular season by a point differential of -60. On Sunday, the Sky made incremental progress in a 91-78 loss to the Sparks in front of 11,422 fans at crypto.com Arena.

The Sky’s offense shot much better, 46.4% from the floor, the first time the team made more than 37% of their attempts. However, the team made just 20% of their three-point shots.

Reese was a -14 on the floor and created four turnovers, but her 13 points were a team-high against the Sparks. She added 12 rebounds, four assists, and two steals. Chicago named her their Player of the Game for her efforts in claiming another double-double.

Following the game, Reese suggested that losing by just 13 points to LA was a “step forward” for Chicago. But the team will be okay if they continue to iron out problems.

“It was a step forward… It’s tough losing three in a row, but I think we’ve got to stay together and continue to work on the things that we need to work on,” Reese said. “I think we’ll be alright.”

The Sky’s offense continued to have issues with turnovers. They lost the turnover battle 17-11. Those turnovers cost Chicago a chance to hit the 80-point threshold for the first time all season.

Reese believes veteran leadership on the Sky will help the team get over their slump, but she said the locker room isn’t happy sitting at 0-3.

“I mean we have (Ariel Atkins) (Courtney Vandersloot), (Kia Nurse), they’ve been in this league for a while and they know what it takes to win and get over this hump,” Reese said. “We’re not happy. Obviously, we’re not satisfied at all. We’re hungry for a win.

The Sky will have an opportunity to earn their first win on Tuesday when they travel to play the Phoenix Mercury. Per ESPN analytics, Chicago has a 31.6% chance of defeating the Mercury.
