With the Golden State Valkyries looking to extend their lead in Game 2 of the WNBA Finals against the Atlanta Dream, one of the players that the team needs to stop is star Angel Reese. As the Valkyries took Game 1 of the WNBA Finals against the Dream on Saturday, 68-64, head coach Natalie Nakase would provide some insight into how the team could contain Reese.
Speaking before Game 2 on Monday night, Nakase stresses the need for Golden State to prevent Reese from getting the ball, according to ClutchPoints' Valkyries reporter Kenzo Fukuda.
“Don’t let her touch it… She's a tough coverage, even when she has the ball. I mean, she drives with force, so it's just making sure we're taking away the shot that she wants. But also, again, it's going to be team based anyway, so we're always going to make sure we're shifted in the right spots,” Nakase said.
