Skip Bayless slammed Angel Reese during the Atlanta Dream’s 91-95 overtime defeat to the Indiana Fever.

She missed an open layup in the first half before missing another that would have won the game at the final buzzer.

Caitlin Clark’s hilarious reaction to Reese’s missed potential game-winner has since gone viral on social media.

Bayless recognised Reese’s biggest strength while also criticising her for repeatedly missing easy shots.

Skip Bayless criticizes Angel Reese’s finishing against Fever

Angel Reese contributed 15 points and 14 rebounds against the Fever, but it was not enough to lead the Dream to a victory.

Skip Bayless first praised Reese, who is widely considered the WNBA’s best rebounder, before highlighting her most glaring weakness.

He tweeted: “Angel Reese, who has made 3 straight All-Star teams, is on the way to becoming the greatest WNBA rebounder ever.

“She’s leading the league in rebounding – but also in badly blown layups. Never seen anything like her lack of control at the rim. Can make you laugh or wince.”

Indeed, Reese’s missed layups are often shared on social media, as fans mock her heavy-handedness around the basket.

The 24-year-old missed a golden opportunity to defeat Clark and the Fever, as her finishing struggles continued on Sunday night.

Bayless added: “Fortunately, Angel Reese missed ANOTHER bunny at the buzzer. Overtime.”

Reese is undoubtedly a good player, given her size and rebounding ability, but her 41.8 field goal percentage is lacklustre for a forward.
