Dream’s Angel Reese pays touching tribute to her mom after beating the Liberty

Angel Reese delivered a standout performance Friday night, leading the Chicago Sky to a hard-fought 85–83 victory over the New York Liberty in Game 3 of their WNBA semifinal series. The win secured a sweep for the Sky, sending them to the 2026 WNBA Finals just four games away from a championship.

Reese dominated statistically, scoring 22 points while adding nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, and two blocks—carrying the load even as Allisha Gray sat out with a hand injury. Beyond her on-court dominance, Reese’s emotional postgame remarks highlighted the pivotal role of her mother, whom she credited for her resilience through personal struggles and professional success.

‘She’s been there for me through everything,’ Reese said, emphasizing the unwavering support that fuels her journey. The Sky’s defense, led by Reese, proved decisive, while clutch scoring from DeWanna Bonner, Jordin Canada, and Rhyne Howard sealed the win in a tightly contested matchup.
