ANGEL Reese unleashed her rage at the WNBA’s referees over a game during the weekend.
The Chicago Sky star put together a stellar performance on Sunday, but the team was unable to win and lost its 12th loss of the season.

The Sky lost 80-75 to the Minnesota Lynx.
But Reese still had a dominant game, posting 16 points and 17 rebounds in 37 minutes.
However, Reese’s interactions with the officials were the main subject following the game.
The 23-year-old was frustrated with the officiating throughout the game as her squad only shot eight free throws, with seven of them coming in the fourth quarter.
After the game, Reese opened up on her disagreement with the lack of calls from the referees.
“I think we fought really hard,” Reese said.
“It’s tough when you talk to officials and I asked them ;hey we only shot two free-throws, we’ve only been to the free-throw line twice up until the fourth quarter’ and she tells me it’s not her job.
“So I know it’s frustrating because I know how hard we are battling inside [the paint].
“I think we came down and fought as hard as we could with what we had. … And I think this is a leaping step up for us.
Reese continued with her rant and said a few expletive words in the process.
“Obviously we know we can compete with the best, but that has to be fixed.
“I don’t give a damn If I get fined because that s***’s cheap and I am tired of this s***.
“I’ve been nice and I’ve been humble with it but I am tired of this s***.”
Reese then took to X after the game and posted a picture of her being grabbed around the waist and next to two defenders and wrote the caption, “diabolical.
And she wrote another message – this time to a post that featured her postgame comments about “not giving a damn” about being fined.
