Angel Reese made an immediate impression in her WNBA Finals debut, earning praise on social media for a dominant first quarter. But by the final buzzer Saturday night, the Atlanta Dream forward was left searching for answers after a scoreless second half and a painful 68-64 loss to the Golden State Valkyries in Game 1 at Chase Center. Reese finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds and five fouls, delivering a double-double in her first appearance on the league's biggest stage. Yet her strong opening half was followed by a frustrating finish, as Golden State erased Atlanta's late lead with a decisive 7-0 run to take the series opener.
