‘Choke Barbie,’ ‘I Can’t Defend Her’ — WNBA Fans Unload on Angel Reese After 3-Point 2nd Half in Game 7 Loss to Valkyries

Angel Reese faced intense backlash from WNBA fans after a struggling performance in Game 7 of the Finals, where the Atlanta Dream fell 68-63 to the Golden State Valkyries. Reese scored just 8 points on 3-of-7 shooting, including a 1-for-3 free-throw night, while committing 4 turnovers in 33 minutes.

Her offensive output dropped sharply after halftime, where she had 5 points and 7 rebounds, finishing with only 3 additional points in the second half. Two costly defensive miscues late in the game—failing to box out Kiah Stokes on consecutive misses—allowed Stokes to grab offensive rebounds and extend the Valkyries' lead.

Despite the loss, Reese acknowledged the Dream’s resilience, calling the team ‘great’ and vowing to return stronger, though critics questioned her consistency, particularly her shooting slump over the final four games (12-of-45 from the field). The Valkyries’ victory marked their first championship in franchise history, capping a historic Game 7 win at Chase Center.
