Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese (5) reacts in the fourth quarter against the Phoenix Mercury

Angel Reese and the Atlanta Dream have their sights set on bouncing back in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals. They lost the series opener on Saturday 68-64 to the Golden State Valkyries at Chase Center. An update about the star forward emerged on Sunday.

Reese finished Game 1 with a 14-point, 12-rebound double-double. She added two assists, two steals and one block on 5-of-11 shooting from the field. However, she failed to add to her scoring total in the second half and only attempted two shots. The former LSU Tigers star emphasized that her lack of aggressiveness caused it and not the Valkyries’ defense.

Allisha Gray led Atlanta’s attack with a team-high 19 points, six rebounds and two assists. Rhyne Howard added 12 points, seven rebounds and four assists. No other Dream player scored in double digits in the low-scoring matchup. The team suffered its first loss this postseason.

Angel Reese sets new WNBA/NBA mark

Reese became the fastest player in WNBA and NBA playoff history to record 100-plus points, 10-plus steals and 10-plus blocks. She achieved it in only six games with her energy on both ends of the floor.

The 24-year-old also broke several WNBA records this season. She set new marks for the most rebounds in a game and in a season, as well most double-doubles in a single campaign. Reese earned her third straight All-Star selection and first Defensive Player of the Year award. She was also part of the Team USA lineup that won its fifth consecutive FIBA Women’s World Cup.

However, winning a WNBA championship is the biggest goal for her and the Dream. They have a chance to return home with the series tied at 1-1 if they can steal Game 2 on Monday. Games 3 and 4 will be played at State Farm Arena with Atlanta fans cheering for their team loudly.
