Angel Reese's 23 Points Were Only Part of Chicago's Difficult Night in Atlanta.

ATLANTA — The Chicago Sky's defensive problems followed them to Atlanta.

Two days after allowing 110 points against Washington, Chicago surrendered another 106 in a 106–81 defeat against the Dream.

Angel Reese scored 23 points for Atlanta, adding another layer of significance to a matchup involving her former team.

Gabriela Jaquez led Chicago with 14 points, but the Sky couldn't match the Dream's offensive production.

The defeat extended Chicago's losing streak to five games.

Across the last two contests alone, Chicago has allowed 216 points while scoring 161.

That's a combined 55-point deficit in two games.

Those numbers are difficult to overlook, particularly for a team searching for evidence of improvement late in the season.

The Sky have demonstrated at different points that they can compete with strong opponents. Earlier in August, Chicago won three consecutive games against Seattle, New York and Golden State.

That stretch now feels far removed from the team's current form.

Saturday's loss dropped Chicago to 15–27.

For Atlanta, the victory reinforced the team's ability to generate significant offensive production.

For Chicago, it raised familiar questions about defensive execution and the development of a more reliable team identity.

The Sky have two games remaining.

Those final opportunities won't change the broader story of the season, but they can still provide information about which players and combinations deserve further attention.
