Chicago Sky star Angel Reese secured the first triple-double of her career on Sunday against the Connecticut Sun, but it didn’t come without a heated moment during their matchup.

In the third quarter, Reese and Sun guard Bria Hartley were vying for a rebound. Reese was grabbed as she tried to reach for the ball and she didn’t like how Hartley played her for the board. Connecticut forward Olivia Nelson-Ododa stepped in between the two players, and Reese responded with a shove.
