Angel Reese made a statement on and off the court tonight.
COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) — Angel Reese had 23 points and 10 rebounds to extend her WNBA single-season record for double-doubles to 31 and lead the Atlanta Dream to a 106-81 victory over the Chicago Sky on Saturday night.
However, it was Reese's taunting of Clark that grabbed the headlines. With the win in the bag and the game down to its final moments, cameras captured Reese following Clark and making the "you can't see me" gesture popularized by WWE legend John Cena.
The 24-year-old WNBA star has teamed up with Reese's Pieces and Reebok to develop a candy-inspired version of her signature Angel Reese 1 sneaker. The new Reebok Angel Reese 1 ‘REESE’S’ goes all-in on the candy brand's signature look by splashing shades of orange, yellow, and brown across the sweet design.
The Atlanta Dream have three games remaining in the regular season , and these may be the most important matchups of the season. Even though they’ve clinched a playoff spot, they’re still fighting for playoff positioning and the chance to have home court advantage in the first round.
"We designed this colorway especially for my fans," Reese said in a press release.
The Atlanta Dream did not have much time to ease back into the regular season. With the playoffs closing in and the World Cup break finally over, Atlanta needed its leading players to reset quickly. Angel Reese gave the Dream exactly the kind of restart they needed.
