so the rose go down to the lunar owls in a very chippy very competitive tensions are high trash talking game did you see Angel Reese just completely lose control in that unrivaled League game against NAFA Collier everyone’s talking about how she got a double double with 17 points and 10 rebounds but what they’re not telling you is she had seven turnovers in that same game while trying to bulldo through Coler like there was no tomorrow beef so Angel ree goes and runs the foul how how that’s not a foul is beyond me by the way the craziest

part while Reese was out there playing like it was a demolition derby Coler stayed cool as ice and put together a master class with 16 points nine rebounds two assists two Steals and a block no wonder the lunar owls walked away with that 66 to 56 win and Collier hit Reese with that hoodie who moment that’s blowing up online right now playing the the rose unfortunately lost to the lunar owls unfortunately not for me it’s hoody who all day over here baby who whoy who who are you go back and do what you do whatever the case may be did

you see how Angel Reese tried to literally run through nefa Collier like she wasn’t even there that’s not even basketball anymore Reese came into this game Fresh Off Lisa Leslie’s special layup training sessions where the legend herself was trying to help reys become more purposeful with her scoring attempts Angel Reese has definitely glowed up ever since Lisa Leslie has said you know what I’m going to work with you on your layups I have been noticing in every game they have gotten more purposeful less kind of like toss

up and and pray for the best but instead of showing that refined skill Reese decided to turn this matchup into a demolition derby those seven turnovers seven tell you everything you need to know about how reys approached this game she wasn’t playing basketball she was playing bulldozer and maybe the most embarrassing moment that attempted highlight play where she tried throwing the ball off the backboard to herself but instead of creating a sport center moment she clipped the bottom of the backboard in what commentators called a

complete disaster that had fans covering their eyes up and of course she does Come Away with yet another double double now with all these talks about you know High people and scoring higher points there is a reason for that in an rivaled and that is because you are not being guarded as much as you would in the WNBA her physical play went Way Beyond aggressive basketball we’re talking about an outright elbow to nefisa Collier’s face that somehow the refs completely missed the game was getting chippy anyway but that non call took the

tension to another level and while Reese was busy creating contact rather than creating space her efficiency suffered dramatically lunar owl 6656 Angel ree had herself a nice game again 17 points 10 rebounds 50% folks double double Angel Reese 50% or more from the field that’s a solid game seven turnovers that’s not good look nobody’s questioning Reese’s Raw Talent OR ability to generate stats she did put up 17 points with 10 rebounds for that double double but when you look deeper at those numbers you see the flaws a 50%

shooting percentage might sound decent Until you realize almost all her shots came from Point Blank Range for a player of her caliber taking mostly close range shots that’s seriously underperforming me we saw one turnover right there I believe there was an offensive foul we lose the ball here we lose the ball there seven turnovers in 21 let’s say 28 minutes of basketball that’s nasty work what’s even more frustrating for her coaches had to be her priorities on the court after scoring instead of hustling back on defense Reese was more

interested in taunting opponents those moments of showboating cost her team precious transition defense opportunities and the rose took full advantage every time just cooking up send Shakira Austin to the floor with that little elbow dirty I wouldn’t go that far unnecessary yeah but this was a chippy game folks even with Lisa Leslie’s mentorship on finishing techniques Reese seemed more focused on creating confrontation than creating good basketball plays each time she’d secure a rebound or score rather than building

on that momentum she’d waste energy on unnecessary physical battles or celebrations that took her out of the flow of the game seems like Shakira Austin and Angel Reese they were going back and forth getting chippy old game hopefully that’s something that’s Brewing into next I like it I I I I can’t lie folks I can’t lie this is unrivaled it is what it is those seven turnovers weren’t just random mistakes they were momentum Killers every time her team started to build Rhythm another careless possession would give the ball

right back to the rose that backboard pass attempt wasn’t just one bad play it was symbolic of her entire approach prioritizing flash over fundamentals aggression over execution Angel re throwing a pass looking for somebody deep unfortunately clipping the bottom of the backboard bottom of the rim area her double double might look impressive in the Box Score but anyone watching the game Saw how those stats came at the expense of Team success every point and rebound felt like it came with an asterisk at what cost to the team’s

overall performance by choosing physical dominance over basketball intelligence Reese ultimately sabotaged her own impressive stat line Angel Reese was on the Fe of Coler giving her a bunch of frustrating bumps and at the end of the game the lunar owls does Come Away with the dub what happens when all that physicality crashes into a wall of pure composure that’s where nefa Coler enters the story after taking that elbow to the face that would have sent most players into a rage spiral Collier didn’t just keep her cool she turned turned that

moment into her personal Turning Point while everyone was waiting for her to lose it she actually elevated her game to another level entirely klier nefisa CER 16 points nine rebounds three steals one block only two turnovers taking care of the ball did you notice how Collier never once tried to match Reese’s aggressive style that’s basketball intelligence at its finest instead of trying to outmuscle or outshout her opponent Collier let her game do all the Talking her stat line Paints the perfect picture 16 points nine rebounds two

assists two Steals and a block that’s contribution in literally every category that matters her best game and I was seeing a lot of people posting like about oh nefisa like thinking she did anything at that after that first quarter but she does a bad game for nefisa Collier was her scoring 16 points which was the second most on her team the most telling stat Collier committed just two turnovers the entire game that’s the difference between chaos and control right there while her opponent was giving possessions away like free

samples Collier treated each possession like gold she knew exactly what was at stake and wasn’t about to let emotions derail her Focus I mean to be totally honest the highest scoring points on both teams were 17 with Britney syes Angel Reese and Shakira Austin all scoring 17 points but yes so nefisa Collier did have an off game and an off game for Aisa Coler is 16 points and that is kind of a flex you know what’s really impressive how klier handled all that physical punishment every time Reese tried to bulldo her way to the

basket klier countered with perfect defensive positioning and timing she didn’t need to match strength with strength she just needed to be smarter about where she placed her body and when she made her moves I giving her no room absorbing the contact and an elbow and the elbow incident completely changed the dynamic of the game most players would have either retaliated immediately or let it affect their performance negatively but Collier she channeled that moment into laser-like Focus her shooting touch remained

consistent even as the physicality ramped up proving that mental toughness is just as important as physical ability at this level you guys see that uh Adel rest strips it from her and then fee tries to grab her look look just look it’s it’s it’s again it’s chippy it’s fun basketball these teams don’t like each other I like that I’m not opposed to this type of basketball I’m not opposed to this at all even basketball analysts couldn’t help but notice the stark contrast in approaches as one postgame analysis put it NAFA Coler had

a bad game and a bad game for her was still scoring 16 points think about that for a second even on an off night she’s still delivered at an elite level that’s the mark of a truly special player C all the way so she hits that game-winning final I don’t know what she says to Angel what made her performance truly special wasn’t just what she did it was how she did it no taunting no unnecessary celebration no wasted energy on anything that didn’t directly contribute to her team success that’s the difference between someone playing for highlights

and someone playing for championships salute to you courney Williams was talking Wild all game there was a stretch in the third quarter right there Courtney Wills was heating up after every basket she was letting everybody on the RADS know that she’s getting it in on it that Championship mindset Collier displayed stands in stark contrast to what was happening everywhere else on the court this wasn’t just another regular season matchup this was personal the lunar owls and the rose have been circling each other all season

like two Predators fighting for the same territory with each encounter cranking up the intensity to another level video and it started off very competitive but kind of in a different way where Chelsea Gray and Skyler diin Smith Chelsea Gray is has really trying to like been trying to prove that she still has it as she said in a postgame interview a few games ago because a lot of people are talking about how Chelsea Gray doesn’t have it anymore and since then she has been putting up like 26 28 points a game the

history between these teams explains everything about that Viral ending nobody saw coming this rivalry has been simmering all season with both teams exchanging trash talk and competitive energy that’s made their matchups must see TV when these squads face off the basketball becomes secondary to the underlying animosity that’s been building game after game but Skyler diin Smith is the most competitive player I think I might have ever seen that outwardly shows it and it starts off Chelsea Gray gets a bucket then it goes

and Skyler diin Smith gets a bucket then Chelsea Gray goes back she gets a bucket then Skyler Di Smith she goes back and gets a bucket and you can tell the level of competition right off the bat let me paint you a picture of what was happening away from the Coler Reese headline battle Chelsea Gray and Skyler diin Smith were locked in their own personal duel trading buckets like they were settling a score that had nothing to do with the scoreboard every ma shot came with a star down every defensive stop with a smirk that said try me again

these two weren’t just playing basketball they were making statements with every possession well and boy it just only grew from there but I’m telling you like this Chelsea Skylar thing it was almost as if they had like a beef or something and they were just trying to one up each other I mean even in the middle of the second quarter they were at the exact same like Point number they both had eight points and then there was Courtney Williams talking so much trash you’d think the court was a landfill after every single basket she

made the verbal barrage continued each word throwing more gasoline on an already blazing fire you could see players on the opposing bench physically reacting to her words coaches literally having to restrain their players from jumping into The Fray now Skylar’s efficiency was a little better as Chelsea Gray was taking more shots so Skyler’s like field goal percentage was better although she was over one at this point in the game at the three but at this point in time Chelsea had had two assists and a steal and Skyler had had

none of those but she did have two blocks now this is not very tall Skyler digging getting those two blocks by the second quarter the entire atmosphere felt like a heated Park matchup where everybody knows everyone else’s business players weren’t just exploiting basketball weaknesses they were going after personal soft spots the kind of targeted attacks that only happen when teams have genuine history the chippy play the extra shoves after whistles the prolonged staredowns all signs of a rivalry that’s moved Beyond professional

competition into something much more raw tell you the rose and the owls were just just trading top scores this in the beginning was a game where I was thinking oh my God are the rose the lunar owls tonight because they were they have been the only team in the entire season to beat nefisa Collier Skyler diin Smith and Alisha gray the top three players of the league in the entire season one of the most devastating matchups that nobody’s talking about Shakira Austin absolutely cooking Angel Reese on both ends Austin

put up 17 points points on a ridiculous 8 for 10 shooting systematically exposing defensive gaps that Reese couldn’t close each bucket Austin scored seemed to carry extra weight like she was proving a point with every made field goal I don’t I don’t know if she necessarily played better than Thea ker they both had different game I’ll say they both had different games somebody who Angel race did not play better than was that girl Shakir Austin 17 points off the benat six rebounds Off the Bench 8 for 10 and a lot of that 8 for 10 was

on Angel ree that’s why things were getting so spicy cuz Shakira would make it talk a little hot something and move on look at the benches during this game and you’ll see the whole story players weren’t casually sitting and watching they were fully invested jumping up after every play coaches physically intervening to maintain order the genuine emotion pouring from both sides told you everything you needed to know about how these teams feel about each other and Britney Sykes Britney Sykes who is not really shown a lot as far as

like points go in the season yet she has showed up and decided hey I want to score an unrival too and she was in for 19 minutes and she scored 17 points let’s be absolutely clear this isn’t manufactured drama created for social media Clips these teams genuinely don’t like each other players from both sides have openly expressed their dislike making this easily the most compelling rivalry in the entire unrivaled league right now when animosity is this authentic it elevates every possession into something more significant than

just basketball again there’s there’s a reason why this was a game that people were looking forward to these two teams have been talking trash back and forth since the rose beat the lunar owl 3 weeks ago two weeks ago this game was chippy from start to finish and Shakira Austin and Angel Reese were the focal point of that chippiness but let’s be honest here angel Reese got chippy here and that hoody who moment after the final buzzer that wasn’t just nefisa Collier celebrating a win it was her perfect response to all the physicality

and aggression Angel Reese brought to the court with those two simple words shouted in Reese’s Direction ker made the ultimate statement composed skill beats flashy aggression every single time the moment instantly went viral across social media with fans dissecting every angle of this new rivalry that’s caught fire but like I said it’s been chippy all game so when the lunar owls finally win nefisa ker likes to let off a little hoody whoo in Angel Reese’s Direction may have nearly poked it away eight to shoot tigan Smith matched up by

gray Sykes took a fall call wi 12 and one lunar ows Queen P delivers yeah hoody who mother you know what hoody who Angel hoody who lunar owls over here this is exactly what the unrivaled league needed not manufactured drama but genuine tension between players who genuinely want to prove something against each other the intensity of their matchup had fans everywhere talking about the physicality the Rivalry and that Viral moment that perfectly captured Ed what this competition has become if these two teams meet in the finals you better

believe we’ll see even more fireworks than what just happened the stage is set for what could become the defining rivalry of the entire league
