Connecticut Sun star Tina Charles and Chicago Sky phenom Angel Reese had a heated moment in Sunday’s game, but both hold a deep mutual respect for the other.

Tina Charles knows what elite rebounding looks like — she’s built a WNBA career on it. And after facing Angel Reese in the Connecticut Sun’s 78-66 loss to the Chicago Sky on Sunday, Charles saw something that reminded her of her younger self.

Charles and Reese continued their dialogue throughout Sunday’s game in Connecticut. And when play heated up in the third quarter, the two got in each other’s faces. It started with Sun veteran Bria Hartley pulling Reese’s braid on a rebound. Reese didn’t like it and shoved off an intervening Sun player. Charles didn’t like that either.

Angel Reese Sends Clear Message After Making WNBA History originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Sunday was a big day for the Chicago Sky. They needed a win, and that’s exactly what they got on the road, beating the Connecticut Sun 78-66. It marked Chicago’s third win of the season through 10 games.

The WNBA will return to CBS on Sunday when the Connecticut Sun host Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky. This has been a difficult start to the season for both clubs, who will hope to return to winning ways this weekend.
