Unfazed by the chatter, Reese made sure to shut down the haters during the Sky's near 50-point smackdown of the New York Liberty.

She racked up 13 points, five rebounds, two steals, and an assist in their 101-53 victory.

After the game, Reese clapped back at her critics on social media, confidently addressing the heat she got for attending the Met Gala just 24 hours before the big game.

"So now y'all can delete those tweets and drafts saying I shouldn’t have gone to the Met Gala and couldn’t handle both. I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME," she tweeted Tuesday morning, sharing pictures of herself both on the court and at the Met Gala.

Let the receipts speak for themselves! Reese's next game will take place on May 15 against the Dallas Wings.
