Angel Reese gives props to Dream crowd for showing up in Game 3 vs. Valkyries

After Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese's victory in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals, she made a request to her home crowd: "pull up" and "pop up." Her plea received an overwhelming response, as 17,000 fans attended Game 3 at State Farm Arena. The Dream went on to defeat the Valkyries 97-71, advancing one step closer to claiming their first-ever championship.

Reese, as she always has, credited her enthusiastic home crowd for their unwavering support. In a video posted by WSB-TV's Alison Mastrangelo, Reese expressed her gratitude, saying, "I thought Ballhalla was loud, but Atlanta, y'all came out, and on a Wednesday, on a school night, you got work tomorrow. I appreciate y'all for coming out and supporting us and being loud on every single possession, just cheering."

With Sunday's work responsibilities in mind, Reese reminded the crowd to be present at the arena on Saturday, encouraging them to "run it back" and continue their support.
