The Atlanta Dream had the last laugh.
Controversial Chicago Sky star Angel Reese got into a heated argument with Atlanta’s Naz Hillmon during the team’s 89-80 loss to the Dream on Saturday.
With the Dream leading 78-75 in the fourth quarter, Hillmon blocked a shot by Reese, glared at her and yelled at her.
Reese responded immediately, appearing to scream, “What the hell happened?”
The two were separated by the referee but had already calmed down and no violent collision ensued.
dream He then posted the video twice on X.“I don’t accept that,” Hillmon wrote.
They later re-posted the video from a different angle, writing, “You know it’s true, Nas!”
Hillmon added eight points and Reese had 13 points.
Reese also had 13 rebounds.
The Sky fell to 4-6, and Reese had a message for his teammates after the game.
“Yeah, it’s tough,” Reese said. “It’s tough because I hate losing and I just try to go out there every night and be as consistent as I can.”
“I think it’s important to be consistent from 1 to 12, from the jump ball all the way through. Not with the coach or another team, but with us.”
She’s been making plenty of headlines in recent days, having been ejected from the Sky’s 88-75 loss to the New York Liberty on Tuesday after receiving consecutive technical fouls while arguing with a referee, though the WNBA overturned the second technical foul on Wednesday.
Then later on Wednesday, Reese alleged at the X that a man harassed her and her teammates, specifically Chennedy Carter, as they were getting off the team bus and heading to a hotel in Washington, D.C.
“When you get off the bus, you find the team hotel and take a camera and shove it in your teammates’ faces and harass them, that’s a terrible job. [sic]” Reese Post to X on Wednesday. “This is really out of control and it needs to stop.”
Last week, Reese was fined $1,000 for failing to make media appearances following the Sky’s 71-70 loss to the Indiana Fever.
Before that game, Reese took issue with Kaitlyn Clark being credited for the recent surge in interest in the WNBA.
“I’m going to go down in history,” Reese said. “I’m going to look back in 20 years and say, ‘Yes, we’re not just watching women’s basketball for one person, we’re watching it for me. And I want people to understand that.'”
