'Finally!' Angel McCoughtry ecstatic over Atlanta Dream's first WNBA Finals win

Atlanta Dream captured their first franchise WNBA Finals victory on Oct. 19, beating the Golden State Valkyries 79-65 in Game 2 to knot the series.

Former Dream No. 1 pick Angel McCoughtry, watching from her Los Angeles office, said she was thrilled to finally see the team win a Finals game and felt the win could propel them to a championship.

The Dream, now holding a 2‑1 series edge heading into Game 4 in Atlanta, have been propelled by Angel Reese’s double‑double dominance alongside Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard, forming one of the league’s top defenses. Their 30‑14 regular‑season record ties the franchise best from 2025, and a sold‑out crowd of over 17,000 at State Farm Arena witnessed the excitement during Game 3.
