Watch: Angel Reese embraces Kyrie Irving's daughter after boosting Sky's win with double-double
Following Sunday's win over the LA Sparks, Angel Reese met a special fan. The Chicago Sky star ran into Kyrie Irving and his daughter Azurie in the Crypto.Com Arena tunnel. Irving greeted Reese as she was running to the locker room. The rookie stopped, hugged Azurie and then did the same with the 2016 NBA champion.
After exchanging a couple of words, she said bye and walked to the locker room. Irving dapped up a Sky staffer who was with Reese before saying 'Hi' to the rest of the team. Chennedy Carter, Lindsay Allen and Isabelle Harrison, as well as Sky staffers, paid respect to Irving while greeting his daughter.
Reese recorded another double-double after scoring 14 points and 11 rebounds. She made four of her 13 attempts from the floor and six of her eight free-throw attempts.
The Chicago Sky pulled off a terrific win against the Sparks despite entering the fourth quarter down 10 points. An intense fourth quarter ended with the Sky winning the game 90-86 after taking a 14-point lead in the final period. This result meant that the Sky won the regular-season series against Los Angeles after winning the first duel in May.
