Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese recently saved ESPN’s Holly Rowe from an eyelash mishap.
On Monday night, the Sky played the New York Liberty for the second time this season. Chicago lost a May 22 matchup against New York, 99-74, and was looking to even the season series before traveling to Atlanta to play the Dream on Friday. Unfortunately, things did not go very well for the Sky while in the Big Apple. They started the matchup slowly and eventually dropped another Liberty game with an 85-66 loss. (Reese was one of a few bright spots, ending her night with 17 points and 11 rebounds on 61 percent shooting.)
However, it wasn’t all doom and gloom. There was a really wholesome and sweet moment that cameras caught during a halftime interview. While Reese was chatting with Rowe about the team’s performance, she thoughtfully fixed the reporter’s eyelash. “Are you fixing my eyelash?” Rowe asked inquisitively. “Yes,” the forward said, smiling, not missing a beat. “I love that so much. Thank you,” the veteran reporter said back to her.
Rowe and several fans later tweeted about the moment, applauding her efforts. Here’s what they said:
The moral of the story? Sometimes your eyelashes come undone, and you need someone to put them back like nothing ever happened, uplifting you along the way.
