Those three words came from Angel Reese after losing the biggest game of her WNBA career thus far.
On the verge of clinching the Dream’s first-ever championship, the queen of manifestation couldn’t will her way to victory in Game 7 of the WNBA Finals. Reese got bottled up in the Valkyries’ 68–63 win, finishing with just eight points on 3-for-7 shooting along with a team-high four turnovers and 12 rebounds. Stifled yet again by Golden State’s relentless pressures and defense, Reese had another quiet performance in the paint and didn’t get many easy looks. Her teammates Jordin Canada and Allisha Gray instead led Atlanta’s attack with 18 and 16 points, respectively.
