  "account": "Atlanta, Georgia - October 21: The Atlanta Dream took a 2-1 lead in the WNBA Finals on Wednesday night with a 97-71 victory over the Golden State Valkyries in front of a sold-out crowd. Angel Reese, the team's standout player, contributed 21 points and 12 rebounds, achieving her third consecutive double-double. This makes her the youngest player to accomplish this feat in the WNBA Finals history. Four other Dream players also scored in double-digits while the team shot 49.3% from the field. Reese attributes the team's success to the enthusiastic support from the home crowd, noting they came out to cheer despite having work the next day. The Dream look to maintain this momentum in Game 4, scheduled for Saturday at State Farm Arena. Reese is optimistic about the support the team will receive, stating \"Y'all ain't got work on Sunday. Y'all got church maybe, but Saturday y'all better put— run it back, run it back. I'm looking forward to it.\"",
