On Wednesday evening, WNBA rookies Angel Reese and Kamilla Cardoso carved their names into the league's history. The dynamic duo joined forces against Dream, each recording a double-double in the same game for the third time this season, a feat no other rookie pair in the history of the WNBA has achieved.
Reese, with 11 points and 13 rebounds, and Cardoso, with 10 points and 11 rebounds, contributed to 24 of Sky's total 43 rebounds. Undoubtedly, the two rookies have been instrumental in the team's success this season.
Cardoso, after the game, reminded the league of the promise she made when she and Reese were drafted by Sky. "When I got drafted I said, 'Nobody's going to get rebounds over us when me and Angel are together,'" she recalled, a promise that seems to hold more weight with every game.
The game also witnessed Reese's 14th consecutive double-double, a remarkable record in itself. She managed to secure her double-double in the last few seconds of the game, much to the delight of the Sky crowd, who were eagerly cheering for her to achieve the milestone.
This historic night in WNBA will certainly be remembered for Reese and Cardoso's record-breaking performance.
