"I think [Angel Reese], the way that she is constantly working hard, doing all of the dirty work right now. Rebounding, steals, making sure she's in all the action in whatever way she can help her team."… pic.twitter.com/lzO6V00JNi
Breanna credited Caitlin for her range and the impact she has had on attendance and singled out what Reese is able to do when it comes to other aspects of the game. “I think Angel, the way that she is constantly working hard, doing all the dirty work right now, rebounding, steals, making sure that she’s in all the action in whatever way she can help the team.” That before also mentioning the way Brink was able to stuff the stat sheet.
Stewart will see Clark again for the third time this season in Indiana Saturday, New York is 3-0 in the matchups so far. While Flau'jae has been very busy given she started the podcast with Overtime and recently released a music project by the same name, "Best of Both Worlds". The latter featuring a verse from legendary rapper Lil' Wayne, who joined the hooper/rapper/podcaster on a track titled "Came Out A Beast".
