Harrison steps up for Reese in Chicago win
The Straits Times|September 10, 2024
The day after losing AllStar rookie Angel Reese for the rest of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) season with a wrist injury, the Chicago Sky defeated the Dallas Wings 92-77 on Sept 8 in a dominating home performance.

Chennedy Carter led Chicago (13-22) with 28 points and six assists. Starting in place of Reese, Isabelle Harrison scored 21 points and added nine rebounds, while Kamilla Cardoso had 10 points and 11 boards, helping fill in the rebounding void left by Reese's absence.

Said Harrison: "I do always want to remain aggressive. I have belief in myself. I wanted to for sure step up with Angel being out today and still show that we can be a solid team. Just continue to stay aggressive."

Despite starting the fourth quarter with a 24-point deficit, Dallas (9-26) battled back and cut 10 points off that with 3min 49sec remaining.
