“I don’t give a damn if I get fined because that s*** cheap,” Angel Reese snapped after their last loss to the Minnesota Lynx. Furious over the officiating, she called out the lack of foul calls for both herself and her team. The disparity was hard to ignore as Minnesota had 17 free throw attempts, while Chicago had just 8.
That frustration didn’t fade in the next game against the Washington Mystics. Despite getting to the line 15 times, Reese picked up 5 personal fouls herself. The officiating didn’t stop the game from becoming physical, and the risk of injury escalated. In total, Washington racked up 21 fouls while Chicago was whistled for 26. The game itself went down to the wire and was decided by a foul, too. Shakira Austin was fouled in the final seconds, and she made both of her free throws to squeak out a 2-point 81-79 win for the Mystics.
