“The little scuffle that we had, obviously she’s gonna stick up for her teammate, and she was like you know I’ve gotta do that,” Reese said postgame with a smile.

Reese's triple-double is just the second of the WNBA season so far and the first since Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark posted 20 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds against the Sky on May 17.

Fueled by Reese's 11 assists — more than double her previous career high — Chicago put five players in double figures.

Both teams are 2-7 entering today’s matchup and have struggled to start the season.
