Angel Reese called out for poor performance against the Liberty image

The Chicago Sky struggled through the team's match against the New York Liberty Thursday night, and the team's star Angel Reese was on the receiving end of a lot of frustration from fans online.

Reese couldn't hit shots throughout the game, to the point that game commentators described her stat line as "fascinating" in a less-than-positive manner. She ended the game with 12 rebounds, one assist and two points.

Reese missed all eight of her field goal attempts. Four of those misses came on a single possession.

"Angel Reese I usually defend u but that s— was so unnecessary," one fan wrote on X alongside a video of Reese missing layups. "Like your playing against 2 elite shot blockers u gotta know when to pass it back out."

Another fan shared the play-by-play of the possession, swearing it was not photoshopped.

The Sky fell to 0-2 with the loss.
