Angel Reese is sounding the call, urging Atlanta fans to pack State Farm Arena for tonight’s Valkyries vs Dream Games 3 after tying up the best-of-seven 2026 WNBA Finals at 1-1.
Reese fueled the 79-65 victory with 30 points and 16 rebounds, shooting 10-of-16 from the field and 9-of-11 from the charity stripe — stats she’ll hope to repeat at the 17,044-seat venue.
“I’m just doing whatever it takes to win,” Reese said. “Atlanta, y’all better pull up and pop out!”
Golden State arrives in Atlanta ready to stay the course, with head coach Natalie Nakase ruling out any major changes despite Monday’s loss.
The Valkyries continue to lean on their league-best defense, even after the Dream limited their offense to 67.5 points per game on 33.1% shooting while forcing 29 total turnovers.
“We have to play harder, number one, but we’ve got to play smarter as well,” Nakase said. “We do rely on our defense. Now, can we be a little bit more creative creating turnovers? That’s something we can definitely game-plan for.”
Game 3 of the WNBA Finals tips off tonight at 8 PM ET (USA).
