The Atlanta Dream are now one step closer to winning their first-ever WNBA championship, with Angel Reese playing a starring role.
After losing the first game of the series, Reese stepped up in a big way during Game 2, scoring 30 points in a 79-65 win, becoming the youngest player in WNBA Finals history to record 30+ points and 15+ rebounds in one match.
Now, she has managed 21 points and three assists in the Game 3 meeting this week, helping her team secure a 2-1 lead.
On the back of what has been an excellent Finals showing from Reese so far, WNBA analyst Robin Lundberg has been speaking about the improvement in the Dream star’s finishing.
