Angel Reese blames herself after a dramatic falloff in Dream’s Game 4 loss in the WNBA Finals

ATLANTA (AP) — Angel Reese took responsibility for a weak performance in Game 4 on Saturday after beginning the WNBA Finals with three straight double-doubles. Holding the Atlanta Dream to eight points, Reese shot 2 of 12 from the field and grabbed nine rebounds. "I think it was me, I think I rushed a lot on my shots and I didn’t take my time and finish around the basket like I’ve been doing the last three games," Reese said.

Despite blocking three shots, she contributed to six of Atlanta’s 17 turnovers. Golden State's Kiah Stokes credited Reese for being "the head of their snake all series," forcing difficult shots. Reese's three lowest-scoring games this season came against Golden State, leading the Dream to focus on regaining their identity as the "enforcers" in Game 5.
