Angel Reese knows how to celebrate a win. After the Atlanta Dream swept the New York Liberty in the WNBA semifinals, Reese rented out the private room at Sei Less in New York City and treated her entire team to a lavish dinner. The squad feasted on king crab legs, lobster spoons, oxtail spring rolls, and more, dancing late into the night before leaving around 3:30 a.m. ET. And they made sure the restaurant staff who stayed open late got a generous tip for their trouble.
This is Reese’s first season with the Dream after being traded from Chicago in April, and she’s already made her mark. She became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 1,000 career rebounds, set a single-game record with 26 boards, and became the first Atlanta Dream player to win Defensive Player of the Year. Not bad for a fresh start.
Now the Dream are headed to the WNBA Finals for a best-of-seven series against the Golden State Valkyries starting October 17 at Chase Center. With team chemistry like this, the Dream look ready for whatever comes next. What’s your prediction for the Finals? Let us know in the comments.
