Angel Reese was strutting her stuff after her Chicago Sky eked out an 88-87 thriller over the Indiana Fever on Sunday afternoon. Picture this: Reese, drenched in sweat, eyes gleaming with the fire of a thousand suns, staring down the ESPN camera and declaring, “I’m a dog. You can’t teach that.” Pure gold.

Reese was a beast, no other way to put it. She dropped 25 points like they were nothing, and grabbed 16 rebounds, 13 of them on defense. It’s like she had magnets in her hands and the ball was made of steel. This wasn’t just any game for Reese; it was the best offensive showing of her young professional career. And it wasn’t a fluke either-this was her ninth straight game with at least 10 rebounds. That’s more consecutive double-digit rebound games than some players get in a season.

The win pushed Chicago to a 6-9 record, a small but significant step towards respectability. More importantly, it broke their losing streak against the Fever, who had bested them twice already this season. This victory tasted sweeter than a summer ice cream cone because it wasn’t just about numbers-it was about pride.

And let’s not forget the underlying drama. Reese versus Caitlin Clark has become one of the most talked-about rivalries in the Eastern Conference since both players started their rookie seasons. Clark, the Fever’s guard, has been a thorn in Chicago’s side, but Reese’s performance is a reminder that this dog’s got some serious bite.

The next showdown between these two squads isn’t until August 30 in the Windy City. Circle that date on your calendar, folks. Until then, both the Sky and the Fever will be clawing their way up the standings, each game a battle in the war for playoff positioning.

So, here’s to Angel Reese-barking, biting, and playing like the dog she claims to be. And here’s to the Sky, hoping that this win is just the start of something big. Because in the wild world of the WNBA, you can’t teach heart, and you sure as hell can’t teach being a dog.
