Here’s a look at the performances from the game’s key players:<\/p>\n
Reese, yet again, did a bit of everything for the Dream in the win. <\/p>\n
Her teammates matched the energy. <\/p>\n
Atlanta got out to a fast start, jumping out to an 8-1 start before smoking Golden State in the second half, outscoring the Valkyries by a 51-31 margin.<\/p>\n
And it was truly a team effort on both ends. The Dream finished with 26 assists, shot 41 percent from three (9-of-22) and forced 15 Golden State turnovers. They also attacked, getting to the free-throw line 29 times and turning it into 20 points.<\/p>\n
The result was basically sealed once Reese hit a three (she ultimately hit both of her attempts from deep)\u2014the Dream simply don’t lose if she connects from deep:<\/p>\n
Atlanta will now look to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series on Saturday at home (1 p.m. ET, NBC). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Atlanta Dream are two wins away from a WNBA championship.
