Angel Reese posts 11th straight double-double in win

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. — Chennedy Carter scored six of his season-high 26 points in the final 92 seconds, rookie Angel Reese recorded his 11th straight double-double just shy of being named an All-Star and the Chicago Sky beat the Atlanta Dream 85-77 on Tuesday night.

Reese finished with a season-high 12 points and 19 rebounds to move within a double-double of Candace Parker’s two-season WNBA record of 12 consecutive points.

The Sky trailed 75-72 before Atlanta went the final three minutes without a basket. Diamond DeShields hit a three-pointer from the corner with 2:21 left to tie it at 75, and she added a free throw on the Sky’s next possession to take the lead for good.

Carter took over late in the game, scoring a basket on three consecutive possessions. She converted her second straight layup for an 80-77 lead, then stole it at the other end, leading to a shot from the free throw line.

Dana Evans added 14 points and Kamilla Cardoso had eight points and 10 rebounds for the Sky (7-11).

Allisha Gray, who joined Reese on the All-Star team, scored 19 points and Tina Charles had 19 points, 14 rebounds and five assists for Atlanta (7-11), which turned over 18 balls. Cheyenne Parker-Tyus and Jordin Canada each added 11 points.
