The Sky top the Dream 85-77 thanks to Angel Reese's 11th straight double-double.
A double-double by Angel Reese just before she was named to the All-Star roster sealed the Chicago Sky's 85-77 victory over the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday. Chennedy Carter scored six of her season-high 26 points in the final 92 seconds to seal the win.
Before Atlanta went three minutes without making a field goal, Chicago trailed 75-72. DeShields made a 3-pointer from the corner with 2:21 left to tie it at 75-all and added a free throw on the Sky's next possession to take the lead.
Kamilla Cardoso had eight points and 10 rebounds to go along with Dana Evans' 14 points. The newly named All-Star Reese finished with a season-high 19 rebounds and 12 points to move within one double-double of Candace Parker's WNBA record of 12 consecutive double-doubles.
Allisha Gray, who is joining Reese on the All-Star team, scored 19 points for Atlanta (7-11), while Tina Charles had 19 points, 14 rebounds, and five assists to lead a team that committed 18 turnovers. Each of Cheyenne Parker-Tyus and Jordin Canada contributed 11 points to the scoring column.
