Angel Reese fired up the Valkyries’ bench after making a huge play in the first quarter. The Dream star drove to the basket with the ball and finished through contact to secure her first basket in Game 6 of the WNBA Finals on Thursday.
After making the basket, Reese stared down at the Valkyries’ bench before hyping up the crowd by raising her arms. After that, she went to the free-throw line and made the shot.
At halftime, ESPN shared the play’s video on X, flooding the comments section.
“Should be a tech for taunting. Act like you’ve been there before,” one fan said.
“Valks bench filing a noise complaint 💀,” another fan commented.
“That immature taunting is the one part of Reese’s game that comes back to bite her,” another fan commented.
More reactions followed:
“Reese talking to the Valks bench at lunch on a Thursday, bro,” one fan commented.
“She’s crying when they’re losing, talking when they’re up huge; at least she’s consistent in never shutting up,” another fan commented.
“When doesn’t she let the other team hear it? They could be down by 50, she could be shooting 1 for 30, makes one and she’ll flex,” another fan said.
Reese finished with 15 points, 14 rebounds and six assists in the Dream’s 80-69 win over the Valkyries.

The Dream secured a win in a do-or-die situation and forced the Valkyries to host a Game 7. It will be the first-ever Game 7 in the league’s history.
Allisha Gray had a stellar game, finishing with 23 points, six rebounds and three assists on 8-for-12 shooting from the field and 5-for-7 from the 3-point range. The Dream will now hit the road on Saturday to take on the Valkyries at Chase Center in San Francisco.
