A powerful pairing has formed in Chicago between two SEC alumnae, Angel Reese and Texas A&M graduate Chennedy Carter.
The dynamic duo danced to “Not Like Us,” by rapper Kendrick Lamar on Sunday afternoon at Wintrust Arena following an 88-87 victory versus Caitlin Clark and Indiana. The Sky (6-9) had lost two previous matchups against the Fever (7-11), 91-83 on June 16 and 71-70 on June 1.
Carter and Reese combined for 48 points to avoid allowing Indiana to clinch the season series. After three games in just over three weeks, the final regular season matchup will be on Aug. 30 in the Windy City.
In 29 minutes on the floor, Carter tallied 23 points on 8-of-12 field goal attempts, 1-of-1 from 3-point range and 6-of-8 from the free-throw line. The fifth-year shooting guard added 5 assists, 2 rebounds and a game-high +12 plus/minus.
Reese racked up her eighth straight double-double, which is a WNBA record. The LSU grad recorded game-highs of 25 points and 16 rebounds.
Carter and Chicago host the reigning back-to-back champion Las Vegas Aces on Thursday at 2 p.m.
They might be the most lit duo on the planet right about now 🌎
