Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese commands a raucous home crowd as the team secures a commanding 97-71 victory over the Golden State Valkyries in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals. Reese leads the team with 21 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 2 three-pointers on 7-12 shooting. The Dream, seeking their first WNBA championship, are now leading the series 2-1, with Game 4 scheduled for Saturday at State Farm Arena.

Reese's clutch performance in Game 3 earns her recognition as the youngest player in Finals history with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in back-to-back games and only the second player to achieve three consecutive double-doubles in the Finals. Her impact on the court has lifted the Dream to a series-high 63-35 and solidified their place as championship contenders.
