Angel Reese delivered a historic performance with 30 points and 16 rebounds, leading the Atlanta Dream to a 79-65 victory over the Golden State Valkyries on Monday night. The win marks the first WNBA Finals victory in franchise history and evens the series at one game apiece.
Reese's 30-point, 16-rebound effort anchored the Dream on both ends of the floor. Allisha Gray contributed 18 points as Atlanta stymied Golden State in the second half, pulling away for the decisive win.
The series now shifts with momentum squarely in the Dream's favor. Atlanta's defense tightened after halftime, limiting the Valkyries' scoring opportunities and securing the franchise's first Finals win.
Game 3 is scheduled for later this week, with the Dream looking to build on Monday's breakthrough performance.
