Storm Player’s Flop vs. Angel Reese Ignites Frustration Of Chicago Sky Fans.
Late Friday night, Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky traveled west to take on Jewell Loyd and the Seattle Storm. The Sky are coming off an 85-77 win over the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday and look to win their second straight.
Early in the first quarter, Reese picked up an offensive foul after elbowing Storm forward Nneka Ogwumike in the face while trying to create space, or so it appeared.
After a closer look at the replay, Ogwumike clearly flopped as Reese did not make contact with her at all. Ogwumike’s solid acting job gave the Storm the ball and a personal foul to Reese.
Sky fans were upset with the flop from Ogwumike and expressed their frustrations on social media.
Reese is just one double-double away from tying Candace Parker’s record for most consecutive double-doubles in WNBA history. On the season, Reese is averaging 13.2 points and 11.8 rebounds. She is the top rebounder in the league this season.
