The Atlanta Dream secured a 79-65 victory over the Golden State Valkyries in Game 2 of the 2026 WNBA Finals, leveling the best-of-seven series at 1-1. Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese led the effort with a historic performance, recording 30 points and 16 rebounds.
With this output, Reese became the youngest player in league history to achieve a 30-point, 16-rebound stat line in a WNBA Finals contest.
Reese played 34 minutes during the matchup, contributing three assists and two blocks to the team's win. Despite the statistical milestone, the forward drew attention for an incident occurring with less than eight minutes remaining in the quarter.
During the sequence, Reese was seen visibly frustrated and walked away from the play while the ball was still in active rotation.
The victory marks a significant point in the series for the Atlanta Dream as they move forward against the Golden State Valkyries. Reese's performance places her in a select group of players to reach such high marks in a Finals game, though the moment of frustration during the second half became a focal point of the broadcast and subsequent social media reactions.
The series remains tied as both teams prepare for the next stage of the championship.
