This win put them back up a game on the Dream who was all in on beating the Fever. But the Sky beat the Wings who are in the Paige sweepstakes.The Sky win by 15 in their first game without Reese, their largest margin of victory this season.
Reese's replacement in the lineup Isabelle Harrison goes off for 21-9-2 with a couple of steals and a block.
Kamilla Cardoso with a dOuBlE DoUbLe.
Chennedy Carter with 28-4-6 found plenty of room for her short/mid range game with Harrison doing most of her damage away from the basket.
Angel who?

The Fever had a hard fought battle against the Dream. This was a game that they could lose.
The Dream is fighting for the 8th spot. The Fever lost their win streak a couple of days ago. It was tough over time win.
But damn do they need to get control of the turnovers. By halftime, the Fever had 12 turnovers to the Dream's 1.
It's actually hilarious how much they tried to force Angel Reese. I mean it worked to some degree, you've got absolute dunces like @Sweater of AV who actually bought it, but it's going to be much worse for her now when the team will be clearly better for her being out of the lineup.
What do people expect? They're women. Of course there are going to be a lot of turnovers. Complaining about all the turnovers is frankly ridiculous unless we're also going to acknowledge that they're very bad at shooting, passing and dribbling as well.
With Clark especially it's ridiculous when half her 'turnovers' are perfect passes and her team mates just miss them.
Bruh? Really? Women have a lot of turnovers? Clark had 6 in one half. The Dream had 1. Clark is sloppy with the ball and her team doesn't always catch passes. The first clip in the video wasn't a turnover.
I've watched every game. It's certainly not 50% of her turnovers. She is a high risk, high reward player. She will always have a lot of turnovers. She handles the ball more like Steph Curry than Chris Paul. But she still needs to be more careful with the ball.Have you actually watched any of CC's games? Have you seen the turnovers for yourself? They're like 50% just women bobbling the ball. I will concede that part of it is they aren't used to getting long passes because the level of play in WNBA is so low.

A bunch of dorks have been saying for years how the WNBA is a more "fundamental" game, but they can't anticipate passes and a rookie is showing them angles they've never seen.The problem early in the season was that she was hitting them from angles they ha never seen and they weren't ready for the passes. That issue has declined over the course of the season and hasn't really been a problem since the Olympic break when the team had a month to just practice and start to gel as a unit. Caitlin is getting better hitting players in the favorite spots on the court, and her teammates are getting better keeping their head on a swivel and being ready to receive a pass.

Reese provides some detail on her injury. Turns out it is a hairline fracture on her wrist that she 'could' have played through but potentially would have long-term consequences if she did. She made the right move. Taking that kind of risk as a rookie on an 8th seeded losing team doesn't make sense. If she were in the latter half of her career and her team was better, it might make sense to play through it, but even that is iffy. Kevin McHale fucked up his career by gutting out an injury in order to win a championship. He didn't get the ring and he was never the same afterwards. It probably took three-to-five years off his career. The juice might be worth the squeeze if you win a ring, but the Sky aren't going to win a ring this year.
Cordoso ftw74-50 right now Sky looking like a balanced offensive juggernaut instead of trying to force double doubles it’s weird.
They definitely need to reexamine having their worst offensive player as the #1 option.
Prayers for our girl. Hope GOATgel has a successful surgery and recovery.
