Angel Reese seals Dream debut with buzzer-beating block in 91-90 thriller

Angel Reese's Atlanta Dream debut ended exactly how she'd write it. With a block. At the buzzer. To win the game.

The Dream outlasted the Lynx 91-90 in Minnesota, and Reese — the centerpiece of Atlanta's reshaped roster after a Sky-to-Dream trade in the offseason — finished with 11 points, 14 rebounds (9 of them offensive), and 3 blocks. Allisha Gray led the team with 24 points. On the other side, No. 2 pick Olivia Miles announced herself with 21 and 8 in her own rookie debut for Minnesota.

The Reese double-double pushed her career total to 50 — fastest in WNBA history to that mark (65 games, beating Tina Charles' 75-game record). Hours earlier, Caitlin Clark had broken her own WNBA 'fastest-to' record across the league. It was a split-screen opening Saturday for the two players the league has spent two years marketing against each other.

Atlanta opens 1-0. The block, the boards, the buzzer — Reese got the loudest answer she's gotten in months.
