Angel Reese Channels Baltimore Roots in Atlanta Dream Win
The victory was a needed one for a team that had lost six of its last seven games.
With the score knotted at 87 late in the fourth quarter, Reese hit a three-pointer to give Atlanta the lead. She then sank two free throws to put the game away.
"I just felt like I was on a blacktop," Reese said afterward. "I felt like I was back home at Baltimore. The family was here, and the culture."
"I want to do whatever it takes to get a win... it felt like I was on the blacktop."
