Angel Reese's historic double-double streak ends at 15 games

Angel Reese's WNBA-record consecutive double-double streak ended Saturday as the star rookie finished with eight points and 16 rebounds in the Chicago Sky's 81-67 home loss to the first-place New York Liberty.

Reese finished 3 for 13 from the floor and was limited to just two points on 0 for 5 shooting in the second half. The former LSU standout had an opportunity to get up one final shot attempt on the Sky's final possession of the game, but four Liberty players surrounded her, forcing her to kick the ball out to a teammate.

"[Winning] is what's most important to me," Reese said about the streak on Thursday. "I think I've done a great job, being able to be consistent and I've broken the record already. So [I want to] be able to just be me and do whatever my teammates need."

Reese broke the WNBA record for most consecutive double-doubles with 13 last Sunday. She had extended the streak to 15 games before falling short in Saturday's loss
