"Sometimes when things are said at halftime, they want to see how you respond," Coach Weatherspoon told her team in the locker room after securing the victory. "You guys came out and responded in the second half, and you did it as a unit. It doesn't matter if the calls go your way. You continue to play. That's the most important thing. You stay together. You fought together. You found a way to go and get it done. This means a lot to me. This first win means more to me than you all can ever imagine. I love every one of you guys. This only one of many to come."

This Chicago Sky team is gonna be something special. Teresa Weatherspoon brings the energy & passion👏🏽

And how great is it that Angel Reese has the respect of vets just two games in? Love seeing the relationship between her and T-Spoon #SkyTown #WNBA pic.twitter.com/Ip5wXMKsjR
