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.

Reese is one of the premier rebounders in the WNBA, and became the first rookie since Tina Charles to lead the league in rebounds per game with 13.1 in 2024. She's on track to defend her crown, as Reese entered this matchup averaging 11.8 rebounds to go along with 10.3 points per game. Her 12.9 career rebounds per game rank first in WNBA history.
