Angel Reese manifested WNBA Finals. A year later, her dream came true in Atlanta

Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese is making history as she became the first player to ever appear in the WNBA Finals. Reese's dream came true after the Dream secured a thrilling 85-83 victory over the New York Liberty in Game 3, sweeping the series 3-0. This marks Reese's first appearance in the Finals, a goal she had been working towards for nearly a year.

The 22-year-old forward, who had previously struggled to find success in the league, is now a key player for the Dream, averaging 18.0 points, 8.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in the five postseason games. Reese's emotional reaction to the win was a testament to her hard work and dedication to the team. She expressed gratitude to her teammates and coaches, and emphasized the importance of maintaining composure under pressure.

Reese has also achieved championship experience, leading LSU to their first national title in 2023. As the Dream continues their run, they are guided by experienced players like two-time WNBA champion DeWanna Bonner and Jordin Canada, who have both won titles in the past.
