Los Angeles Sparks star Kelsey Plum couldn’t help but taunt Angel Reese after scoring an easy bucket against her during Sunday’s game, seemingly suggesting that she’s no fan of the Chicago Sky forward.
Kelsey Plum finished with a game-high 28 points, along with two rebounds and eight assists in the Sparks’ 91-78 victory. The loss dropped Angel Reese and the Sky to 0-3, making them one of the last three winless teams (the Dallas Wings and Connecticut Sun are both 0-4).
One of the top highlights of the game occurred early in the first quarter, when Plum dribbled past Reese for an easy layup. After getting the two points, Plum gestured to the crowd that Reese was “too small” to defend her:

Angel Reese is one of the most polarizing players in the WNBA, but it appears Kelsey Plum is no fan of her trash talk and outspoken style. If that’s the case, we’re sure that basket felt extra good.
Though the Sky weren’t a match for the Sparks, Reese had a solid outing with a double-double (13 points, 12 rebounds) along with four assists and two steals.
