Angel Reese's Double-Double Leads Atlanta Dream to 2-1 Finals Lead

In the WNBA Finals, the Atlanta Dream defeated the Golden State Valkyries 95-71, taking a 2-1 series lead. Angel Reese led the Dream with 21 points and 12 rebounds, marking her third consecutive double-double in the Finals.

The Dream capitalized on a sluggish start from the Valkyries, who struggled offensively and failed to score for the first five minutes of the game. Atlanta's defense was effective, forcing 17 turnovers and scoring 22 points off those mistakes.

Despite the Valkyries' challenges, players like Cecilia Zandalasini and Janelle Salaun showed improvement, contributing significantly to the team's efforts. The game was played in front of a sold-out crowd of 17,044 at State Farm Arena, marking the first WNBA Finals game in Atlanta since 2013.
