Angel Reese's latest big playoff performance sends Dream to WNBA Finals

Just two days after setting a new playoff career-high and getting the Atlanta Dream a game away from reaching the WNBA Finals, Angel Reese gets the job done on Friday night. 

Angel Reese almost surpassed her recently set playoff career-high 

Finishing one point shy of matching her personal best total from Wednesday, Reese continued her impressive postseason by helping her team close out their semifinals series with an 85-83 win and a 3-0 sweep over the New York Liberty. Reese scored 22 points, now her second-highest mark in the playoffs, by going 7-for-18 from the field and 2-for-4 from three. 

She was also one rebound short of a double-double, which would've been her second of the playoffs, and dished out three assists while recording two blocks and one steal. 

Reese has the Dream in the Finals for the first time in 13 years

The victory was historic for the Dream franchise as well, marking the team's first trip to the WNBA Finals since 2013. But the pressure is now on the 24-year-old to do what she's accomplished at every level throughout her whole basketball career from college to the professional ranks.

Reese's production against New York came after leading her team to a 2-0 series sweep of the Washington Mystics in the first round. She scored 28 total points in those two games combined and posted a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds in the first game.
