I like the New York Liberty; however, I was glad to see Angel Reese finally back. It has been an extremely depressing season with so many injuries. Plus, I hate whoever makes the schedules...it makes no sense. One day there will be no games, or maybe 1 game. The next day, the entire rest of the league is playing. And good luck trying to find a game. Just absolutely ridiculous. You will find one game while 4 other games are going on at the same time.
Pathetic. So this is not Angel's first game back, it's definitely the first one I've been able to catch.
I asked AI:

** Cutie-Pies on the Court: Sky vs. Liberty (August 21, 2025)**
1. A Sweet(ish) Upset & Big Stats Love
On Thursday, August 21, 2025, the Chicago Sky—already officially out of playoff contention—managed to pull a surprise on the reigning champs, the New York Liberty, with a 91–85 win at Barclays Center.
Kamilla Cardoso went all-out, scoring 22 points and grabbing a career-high 16 rebounds. Meanwhile, Angel Reese made her return look amazing, delivering 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists—together, the duo dominated inside the paint. The Sky outscored New York 52 points in the paint to 26, outrebounded them 42 to 27, and got to the free-throw line a whopping 14 more times.
Ariel Atkins sprinkled in 19 points (9 came in the fourth quarter), and Michaela Onyenwere added 13, giving the Sky some tasty offensive toppings.
2. Angel’s Return—Sparkling with Shine
Angel’s comeback was absolutely heart-eye emoji worthy—she looked fresh, fierce, and fabulous. Believe it or not, she helped reclaim the Sky’s spark, turning a struggling squad into one that finished strong. Her double-double was a graceful reminder she’s a force to be reckoned with.
3. Kamilla Cardoso’s Superpower Performance
Cardoso was nothing short of a superhero inside the lane: 22 points, 16 rebounds, and even snagging 5 assists—she was like a Swiss Army knife but in uniform. On the boards, she was the Sky’s MVP (Most Valuable Pivot). Her presence inside was the kind of impact that makes you fist-pump and shout “YES!”
4. Stats N’ Silly Love
-
21 lead changes and 11 ties? Talk about a roller-coaster!
-
The Sky went 50% from the field and scored 52 points in the paint—talk about getting cozy in the key.
-
Meanwhile, the Liberty cooled off from deep: 10-of-20 in the first half… but just 3-of-17 (18%) after halftime. Ouch.
5. Liberty’s Boo-Boos (While Sweet, They Could’ve Been Sweeter)
Despite 25 points from Jonquel Jones (including a career-high-tying five 3-pointers) and solid contributions from Sabrina Ionescu (16) and Natasha Cloud (14), the Liberty felt a little “meh” on effort, especially rebounding and physicality. Head coach Sandy Brondello was especially "disappointed" in the team’s lack of spark and rallying presence
6. T-Spoon & Angel’s Adorable Moment

Wrap-Up: In Cute We Trust
Even though the Sky are out of playoff dreams, this game was hands down a highlight—shining center magic, emotional return, and unforgettable hustle. Angel Reese and Camilla Cardoso delivered a masterclass in inside basketball. The Liberty’s lack of intensity? Well, they’ll have to dust that off and rebound (pun intended) as the playoffs loom.
Meanwhile, our mental storyboard of T-Spoon meeting Angel Reese is just too sweet not to cherish—it’s the kind of sports fairy tale beam friends bond over for seasons.
