Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese made her first shot attempt in Tuesday's 97-86 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks and never looked back.

The 6-foot-3 post finished with 18 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals - a combination of stats that has only been matched one other time in WNBA history.

She also continued her ascent up the double-double record books.

With her performance Tuesday evening, she registered her 34th such game through her first two WNBA seasons, distancing herself from Candace Parker (32) for second-most all-time, behind only Tina Charles (45).

She also became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 150-plus rebounds and 50-plus assists in a season. 

Reese's 18 points and 4 steals were both season highs.

Not to be outdone, Kamilla Cardoso poured in 27 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. 

With the win, the Sky (4-10) snapped a three-game losing streak and won just their second game in the past eight.

Next up for Chicago is a Friday night contest against the Golden State Valkyries.
