Out of halftime, Van Lith scored five, Ariel Atkins added four, and Rebecca Allen chipped in three to keep the Sky close, despite a 13-point explosion from Collier for the Lynx. Chicago trailed by just three heading into the fourth.

Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese put together one of the most impressive rookie campaigns in recent memory last season. She refused to let her minor slide in the 2024 WNBA Draft affect her, as she landed on the All-Rookie and All-Star teams.

Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky matched up against the Minnesota Lynx in their final preseason matchup on Saturday at the Target Center.

The second-year forward went back to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as part of a preseason matchup between the Chicago Sky and the Brazilian national team. As Reese led Chicago past Brazil, Mulkey commended her former forward on the broadcast.

As the Sky turn their attention to the May 17 season opener against the Fever, Reese's strides are key to their ambitions.
