CHICAGO With 43.4 seconds left and the clock stopped after a foul, Angel Reese walked by herself toward the faraway Chicago Sky basket, smiling and clapping with that familiar look on her face.
Forget Vogue and the Met Gala, this was a proper runway.
After two losses to the Indiana Fever in Indianapolis, Reese and the Sky were in the lead, in control, and Reese knew it.
While the remaining basketball after that moment was, to put it nicely, a little frenzied, Reese and the Sky held on for an 88-87 victory over Caitlin Clark and the Fever on Sunday at a raucous, packed Wintrust Arena.
Round 3 goes to Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.

(71,149 posts)The WNBA does need more exposure on broadcast television, but I imagine the networks don't see the ad revenue to make it worth production costs. But how does the league generate interest without exposure?Some games are on CBS and ABC, though.
