The Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky rivalry became a complete cinema for the WNBA fans, and now the Rose BC and Hive BC are reliving similar battles. Hive BC won both encounters in Season 2, denting a big blow to Rose’s chances in the playoffs. Ironically, the winning side had Fever’s guard Kelsey Mitchell and the losing side had Sky’s forward Angel Reese.
While the Atlanta Dream owner saw Reese as a perfect addition to the Rose BC, to save their season and even aim for the title once again, Skylar Diggins was all charged up with Barbie’s return. But KM got the air out of a hot balloon with a game-winner.
Kelsey Mitchell Shatters Angel Reese’s Dream Return
Rose BC stand fifth in the standings, and their only easy fixture in season 2 was against the Hive BC. Though Hive BC handed the defending champions their first-ever loss in the season, behind Kelsey Mitchell’s heroics, the Rose BC welcomed Chi Town Barbie for the rematch.
Skylar Diggins lauded the return as ‘back and better’, but Mitchell once again proved to be the party spoiler for Reese as she hit the game-winner to hand Hive BC its fourth win. As AR5 was guarding the Fever star, the guard took advantage of her speed and ball handling to dribble past the defender for an easy game winner.

During the first quarter, the Storm guard praised Reese, and in the fourth quarter, KM finished the game, proving all the bold claims wrong. Reese, though, had a decent game with 13 points and eight rebounds.
