Angel Reese had one of the worst shooting games of her career on Friday against the Washington Mystics. The Atlanta Dream and Team USA star scored seven points and grabbed 16 rebounds, but shot a measly 1-for-12. All of Reese's attempts were within five feet of the rim.
Reese also had four clean blocks against her, with Shakira Austin responsible for most of them. Sonia Citron also came up with a highlight defensive play against the Dream star. Reese scored five of her points at the free throw line. The Dream lost 79-74 and Reese's performance had an impact on the game.
Critics had a field day and poked fun at Reese. Several fans questioned her inclusion in Team USA's squad for the FIBA World Cup.
"Idk how she made team USA," one X user wrote.
Shakira Austin was the primary force that stopped the in-form Angel Reese on Friday night. Before this matchup, Reese had registered three 20-point games in her last four outings and had shot 50.0% or better three times. However, Austin ensured that didn't happen against the Mystics.
