Angel Reese’s shirt delivered a strong message ahead of Game 5 of WNBA Finals

Angel Reese wore a shirt that said "Protect Black Women" ahead of Game 5.

The WNBA Finals concluded with Game 5 taking place at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California. The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries were tied at 2-2. Angel Reese, who had a 14-point, 12-rebound performance in a Game 4 loss, made a statement with her attire. She wore black pants and a t-shirt featuring the phrase "Protect Black Women."

Reese seemed to arrive at the arena with a clutch similar to the one worn by Jordyn Woods during the New York Knicks' championship run. Her goal for Game 5 was to secure a win for her team. Reese's performance in the series was consistent, averaging 11 points and 10.5 rebounds in the games the Dream lost, but 25.5 points and 14 rebounds in their two wins. Her shooting record in the series was 0-for-1 from three in the losses and 3-of-3 in the wins.
