With her 30 points and 16 rebounds, the former LSU Tigers women’s basketball star set a new WNBA record for being the youngest ever in league history to score at least 20 points and grab no fewer than 10 rebounds in a Finals game, according to StatMuse on X, formerly Twitter.
Reese and the Dream clearly knew how difficult it would be to be 2-0 down against a talented team like Golden State, and they made sure that won’t be the case, as they asserted themselves in Game 2. Atlanta made a living from the foul line, where they went 30-for-35, while Golden State was only 16-for-19 from the charity stripe. Moreover, the Dream scored 24 points off Golden State’s 19 turnovers.
Reese, who posted 14 points and 12 boards in Game 1, shot 10-for-16 from the floor in Game 2, and even flexed her range by draining her only attempt from behind the arc. She added three assists, two blocks and a steal in 34 minutes of action.
Allisha Gray and Jordin Canada provided ample support behind Reese, scoring 18 and 13 points, respectively, as the Dream leave San Francisco for their turn to host the WNBA Finals.
Game 3 on Wednesday and Game 4 on Saturday will be both be played at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
