The Bayou Barbie finished the game with 15 points and 14 boards, while also contributing a steal and a block. She struggled shooting the ball, but ensured her contributions off the ball helped the team get over the line.
In a game that was heavily debated due to the early start time, Reese made sure to bring in all the energy right from the tip-off. The crowd played a factor as the Dream started the game on top, taking a 17-point lead after the first quarter itself.
This was extended to 20 points at halftime and although the Valkyries tried to fight back in the second half, the Dream had done enough to force a Game 7.
Reese continued her antics with the players on the Valkyries, as she was seen getting into it with their bench players. This further hyped up the crowd, who were cheering on the Dream.
This was not the first time Reese tried to take on a Valkyries player. Earlier in the series, she was seen trash-talking Aminata Gueye. She has also had complaints about the referees during the series, which have led to heated press conferences.
Fans were quick to react when a video of Reese trash-talking to the Valkyries bench went viral.
"I don't know if I could dislike her more," said one fan. While another added: "Now if they lose game 7 she's gonna go on a she's the victim campaign."
Someone also wrote: "Just imagine what a championship will do to that p****."
A fan opined: "You'd think she can make layups with the way she talks." "Angel only talks when she's up, when she's down it's crickets. (Or complaining)" said a fan.
Reese will be hoping that she can put up another big performance in the all-important Game 7, which will be played at the Ballhalla on October 31.
