Angel Reese<\/a> got off to a dominant start with the Atlanta Dream<\/a>. In their first game of the 2026 WNBA<\/a> season, Reese recorded 11 points, 14 rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks to help Atlanta take a 91-90 win over the Minnesota Lynx<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reese also delivered the game-saving block<\/a>, as she rejected Emese Hof to preserve the Dream’s one-point lead at the buzzer.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday as the Dream faced the Dallas Wings<\/a> in their second game, Reese continued her brilliant start. She dominated the painted area and the glass once again, even pulling off a highlight-reel-worthy play.<\/p>\n

During the contest, Reese grabbed an offensive rebound and bullied her way to the rim against three Wings defenders. Dallas guard Odyssey Sims<\/a> was in front of the Dream star, but she couldn’t do anything to stop her from scoring.<\/p>\n

Even better, Reese flexed after the play and used the popular “too small” gesture to highlight how the Wings couldn’t stop her. As Dallas fans booed her, the two-time All-Star didn’t back down and proceeded to gesture to the crowd to keep it coming.<\/p>\n

Reese had every right to flex and taunt her opponents, though. After all, Dallas couldn’t find a way to slow her down or contain the rest of the Dream squad.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old forward finished with 12 points, 16 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block as Atlanta secured a 77-72 victory.<\/p>\n

Allisha Gray<\/a> led the Dream in scoring with 26 points, while Jordin Canada<\/a> added 19.<\/p>\n
