Angel Reese Sets Records
Angel Reese delivered an outstanding performance. She now holds the record for most rebounds in a WNBA Finals series with 78. During the Finals, she achieved four double-doubles, the second-highest in league history. In Game 6, Reese scored 15 points, pulled down 14 rebounds, and provided six assists.
Reese praised the 17,000-plus fans in attendance for their support. “Every time we’ve thrown the first punch, we’ve won the game,” she stated. “We appreciate the fan’s support on a weekday. They came out and supported us every single day, every single game.”
Fan Support and Future Plans
The Atlanta Dream’s commitment to their fans showed as this was their last game in Atlanta this season. Game 7 will take place at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California.
The strong fan turnout was anticipated. Atlanta fans consistently supported the Dream throughout the season. Their loyalty led to the team signing a multi-year agreement with State Farm Arena. Next season, all 25 regular season games will be held at this venue instead of the smaller Gateway Center Arena.
