The Chicago Sky beat the Brazil women's national team on Friday by 27 points, with Angel Reese dropping a double-double of 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead the team to victory. Sure enough, it was an impressive feat that highlights how much the team has improved after making several big changes in the offseason.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Former LSU star Angel Reese’s homecoming in the Chicago Sky’s WNBA exhibition opener was a smashing success. Reese had 15 points and 10 rebounds, helping the Sky to a rousing 89-62 victory over the Brazilian national team on Friday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

Kamilla Cardoso was delighted, too, to have a chance to spend a little time with — and, in a total twist, play against — Brazil’s national team, for which she has been a central figure in recent years.
