This is also Reese’s fourth equal double-double and her 36. In her first 50 career games.
It was a season high with 24 points due to an effective day shooting when Reese went 10-of-19 off the field while knocking down on all four of her free throwing attempts. Then on the defensive end, Reese added two blocks and a steal for the sky.
