In their recent games, the Atlanta Dream has demonstrated remarkable resilience, overcoming significant deficits to secure wins against the Minnesota Lynx and the Phoenix Mercury. In their season opener on May 9, they rallied from an 18-point deficit to win 91-90, followed by another comeback victory against the Mercury, winning 82-80 after trailing by over 15 points. Rhyne Howard, a three-time All-Star guard for the Dream, attributes this newfound tenacity to Angel Reese, who she believes has been pivotal in changing the team's mentality. Howard noted that Reese's energy and determination have inspired the team to push through challenges they might have previously succumbed to. Reese, who was traded from the Chicago Sky, has quickly made an impact, recording her third double-double of the season with 17 points and 10 rebounds in the game against Phoenix. With a current record of 4-1, the Dream leads the WNBA, showcasing their ability to perform under pressure thanks to the contributions of players like Reese.
