“Somebody said we wasn't the best young core in the league. I think we're the best young core in the league for sure, hands down. The Skyscrapers, we do it every single night,” Reese said of herself and Cardoso. “I'm just super happy for the team.”

Reese and the Sky have slowly been finding their footing over the course of the WNBA season, now sitting at 7-13 and 10th overall in the league. The two-time All-Star has carried the team's turnaround and continued to do so versus the W's top-ranked squad, putting up 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Chicago currently sits three games out of the last postseason spot but has been playing like a team that could eventually sneak in. Reese, Cardoso, and Ariel Atkins make up the franchise's foundation in its rebuild, and their chemistry is growing with every game. Now the trio will have a chance to double down on the Sky's impressive victory over the Lynx in a rematch on July 14.
