Angel Reese's decision during Chicago Sky's first victory has attracted attention

Angel Reese's decision during Chicago Sky's first victory initially attracted the attention of Athlon Sports.

Chicago sky rose to 1-4 in the 2025 WNBA season after Thursday's victory against the Dallas Wings. Not only is it the Sky’s first win this season, but it is the first win of head coach Tyler Marsh’s career.

It was a full-scale effort for Chicago, with Kamilla Cardoso scoring 23 points, Ariel Atkins adding 17 points, while Courtney Vandersloot Chipping scored 13 points. Vandersloot also became the franchise's all-time leading scorer with 3,728 points.

Chicago Sky clutched to the lead of 95 to 92 with 29 seconds left, bringing together incredible ownership, causing Atkins to make a pull-up jump. This raised the sky by 5 minutes, leaving only 16.3 seconds.

After Vandersloot hit Cardoso from the ball screen, Cardoso finds Angel Reese open under the basket. Instead of kicking off, Rees collected the ball and found Rebecca Allen in the corner, who ended up getting an assist from the game.

In this case, fans have a disagreement about what Reese should do. Given that the shooting clock was seven seconds left, many responded to the game, saying Rees should have shot the footage.

One fan replied: "The Angels should have accepted it, but they need excellent sports."

Another fan said: "It's definitely a great show. But actually, Angel has to go straight."

One fan replied: "Brother kept saying that he ran some clocks, like the shooting clock was not playing yet." "The Angel must have a ball, and there are 7 seconds left."

Reese still received a lot of praise for her decision to pass the ball out, as it ultimately led to a last wish that made the game untouchable.

One fan replied, “Don’t want to mess up clever games to win games.” “The right pass.”

"The second second she touched the ball, she had two defenders on her face," one fan pointed out. "This is the right move."

Another fan added: "When AR got the ball, there were four opponents in the paint." "Playing like this will eventually give her a more open look."

The next game for the Sky is again against Dallas’ wings as the teams will complete two games on each other. Tipoff is scheduled for Saturday at 8:00 pm EST.
