Social media reacts to Angel Reese's dominant Game 2 performance

Angel Reese drove the Atlanta Dream to their first WNBA Finals victory with a historic 30-point, 16-rebound performance against the Golden State Valkyries, securing a 79-65 win. The six-foot-three forward became the youngest player in league history to post a double-double in her first two Finals appearances and joined Breanna Stewart and Jonquel Jones as the third athlete to record at least 30 points and 15 rebounds in a championship game.

Her stat line also included three assists, two blocks, and a steal, while her defensive presence helped the Dream outscore their opponents 19-0 in fast-break points.

The dominant display drew immediate praise from figures in women's basketball, including former LSU assistant Gary Redus and Ole Miss head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin, who highlighted her competitiveness. Other notable voices such as Patrick Beverley, Jemele Hill, and Ros Gold-Onwude shared their admiration on social media, while current LSU assistant Joe Schwartz and other alumni celebrated the former Tiger's continued success.
