“I'm a dog,” Reese told ESPN's Holly Rowe after the game. “You can't teach that. I'm going to go out and do whatever it takes to win every night. My teammates depend on my energy. So being able to continue the energy even if we're down, even if we're up, that's what do”.
Chennedy Carter made just his third start for the Sky this season and also contributed big numbers. He had 23 points with five rebounds in the win. Reese's rookie teammate Kamilla Cardoso added 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Reese, Carter and Cardoso were the only Sky players in double figures.

Clark had 17 points, 13 assists and four steals. All 13 of his assists came in the first three quarters of the game. He didn't have any assists in the fourth quarter, but managed to set a Fever franchise record for most assists in a single game.
Even with Chicago leading in the final moments of the game, the Fever still had a chance to win or send the game to overtime. He had a shot in the last 2:19.
