Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese dealt with foul trouble all afternoon long in her team’s 91-83 loss to Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on Sunday, and she was assessed a Flagrant 1 for a hit on the No. 1 overall pick. During her postgame press conference, Reese had some strong words about the officiating.
Asked about the flagrant foul, Reese said the referees “affected the game a lot tonight.” She expanded on those thoughts when detailing the difference between the first and second half for herself and her team.

“I’m proud of Kamilla going out and still getting a double-double. That’s something that y’all are not going to be able to stop, regardless of the referees, like we’re here for a while, we’re not going to be denied no matter what you guys try to do. Our goal is to win, we’re going to do whatever it takes to win and continue to do that.”
Reese finished the game with 11…
