Angel Reese delivered a dominant 30-point, 16-rebound performance in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals, leading the Atlanta Dream to a 79-65 victory over the Golden State Valkyries. The win leveled the best-of-seven series at 1-1 after the Dream struggled in the opener. In front of a raucous home crowd at Chase Center, Reese bounced back strongly, admitting she felt she let her team down in Game 1.
She focused on all aspects of her game—scoring, rebounding, screen quality, and hustle—making a major impact on both ends. Rhyne Howard set a Finals record with six steals, while Allisha Gray added 18 points and Jordin Canada contributed 13 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds. This marked the Dream’s first-ever Finals victory after going 0-10 in previous trips.
Reese became the third player in history to record at least 30 points and 15 rebounds in a Finals game. Coach Karl Smesko noted her heightened focus, and teammates praised her aggression. Game 3 moves to Atlanta’s State Farm Arena, which holds over 17,000 fans.
