Hailey Van Lith added five points off the bench, although she and Reese combined for 12 turnovers as the home team made a number of important mistakes down the stretch to spoil a promising start.

During Tuesday's game against the Mystics, Chicago Sky head coach Tyler Marsh chose to celebrate Reese by wearing her Reebok Engine A "Pretty Gritty" PE shoes on the sideline. Fans reacted strongly to Marsh's gesture on Tuesday during the game against Washington. Many took to social media to voice their support for the first-year head coach.
