"I know what it takes to win a championship" – Angel Reese makes bold claim after WNBA Finals collapse

Following a heartbreaking Game 7 defeat in the 2026 WNBA Finals, Angel Reese expressed optimism about her future with the Atlanta Dream. Despite dropping the championship finale 63-68 to the Golden State Valkyries, the star forward emphasized the selfless culture and high standards within her new locker room.

Reese was traded to Atlanta in April after spending her first two professional seasons with the Chicago Sky, helping the team match its previous regular-season win total and eliminate the New York Liberty in the semifinals. Along the way, the standout secured her first major accolade by winning the Defensive Player of the Year award, while also setting multiple rebounding milestones including the single-season record of 521 boards and a Finals series best of 90.

Teaming up with veterans like Allisha Gray and Jordin Canada alongside Rhyne Howard, Reese believes the young core is well-positioned for future title contention.
