“I’m still happy,” Reese said. “I’m grateful for my time here in Chicago — I experienced a lot of great things — but I’m just happy to start this new journey. ” However, facing her former teammate, Reese had a rather unpleasant moment that was noticed by the fans.

However, the same courtesy was not extended on the court as fellow draftee Kamilla Cardoso vehemently rejected Reese’s shot.
With 3:17 in the second half, Reese brought the ball up to the top of the key from her own half. She was in an iso against Cardoso and they had faced off all game until that point. Reese tried to go past Cardoso but was just too slow to get to the rim.
