ANGEL Reese is under fire for an ’embarrassing’ error during the Chicago Sky’s latest loss.
Despite recording her ninth straight double-double, Reese found herself criticized by fans for being a little too loose with the ball.

During Monday’s 91-78 loss to the Minnesota Lynx, Reese had no trouble scoring and grabbing rebounds.
She finished the game with 22 points and 10 rebounds, but also notched a few too many turnovers.
Reese turned over the ball five times, including one slip up that helped spark the Lynx comeback and went instantly viral.
The error came late in the second quarter, when Reese inbounded the ball.
She seemed to not look for a teammate, instead just throwing the ball in play, which allowed the Lynx to recover the ball.
It was quickly passed out to Bridget Carlton, who drained a three-pointer to cut the Sky lead to 46-41.
The second quarter ended with a score of 46-44, and the Lynx would soon recover the lead and never surrender it.
WNBA fans were baffled by Reese’s silly turnover, and shared their thoughts on social media.
“10th game with more turnovers than assists,” one fan said.
“I don’t understand how she made the All Star team,” another fan said.
“That was a lazy pass,” a third fan said.
“Well it was great if she meant to pass to the other team,” a fourth fan said.
“Does she get an assist on that too?” a fifth fan said.
While Reese had some silly errors during the loss, she is working on putting together a solid season.
She is currently averaging 14.0 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.
