'We got our swagger back:' Dream force WNBA Finals Game 7 in rout, but can they maintain shooting rhythm?
Angel Reese was feeling the vibe after Atlanta's stunning early shooting display from 3 in a series that had been more of a rock fight.
The Atlanta Dream made a dominant return in Game 6 of the WNBA Finals, overcoming a 3-2 series deficit against the Golden State Warriors. Atlanta's Angel Reese noted they had regained their "swagger" after two losses marred by offensive struggles. The Dream led by 25 points at halftime, the largest first-quarter advantage in Finals history.
Golden State struggled early, committing at least half of their turnovers and failing to pressure or aggressively play ball like they did in the first three games. The Dream's strong shooting from beyond the arc, particularly from Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, who each went 2 for 2 from three, proved crucial in securing the victory.
Despite missing several key shots and turnovers, Reese's leadership and strong performance were instrumental in Atlanta's sweep of the Warriors.
