Reese, Canada help Dream sweep to reach first Finals in 13 years!

The Atlanta Dream made history with a dramatic sweep of the Washington Mystics, securing their first WNBA Finals appearance in 13 years. Angel Reese, in her rookie season, delivered a standout performance with 22 points and 9 rebounds, anchoring Atlanta’s offensive and defensive efforts.

The Dream faced challenges early, including a lackluster shooting night from Rhyne Howard (5-for-20) and the absence of Allisha Gray due to injury. Despite a tense first half—marked by foul trouble for Naz Hillmon and a verbal exchange between Reese and Sabrina Ionescu—they held off New York’s late surge, with Jordin Canada leading the charge in transition plays to close out the game.

The victory capped a thrilling playoff run, with the Dream overcoming adversity to reach the promised land.
