Angel Reese had a difficult Game 4 as the Golden State Valkyries beat the Atlanta Dream 67-62 in the WNBA Finals to tie the series.
Reese was at the centre of criticism over her offensive struggles after the game.
She finished with eight points and nine rebounds, making only two of her 12 field-goal attempts, a shooting rate of 16.7%. Foul trouble and turnovers added to her difficulties.
The performance contrasted with her previous outings. Two standout displays had kept Atlanta in contention for the title. The Dream had a chance to take the series lead and move closer to the championship, but fell to a Valkyries side that levelled the series.
Marca said the loss reflected the Dream’s overall performance, but that Reese’s individual numbers drew particular attention.
Journalist Landon Kardian published an [article on Yahoo – LINK] under the headline “Angel Reese Just Embarrassed Herself on the Biggest Stage”. The criticism focused on her offensive struggles and her inability to consistently convert chances near the basket.
The championship could be decided in Game 5 on Monday, October 26, when the two teams meet at Chase Center in San Francisco.
