Her effort makes her the third player ever with 30 points and 15 rebounds in a Finals game. Both credit their player‑coach relationship – which Reese likens to a father‑daughter dynamic – for the team’s momentum as they chase the franchise’s first title in the upcoming Game 3 at State Farm Arena.

Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers reveals her personal WNBA Mount Rushmore on Sports on Prime, naming Maya Moore, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi and Candace Parker as the legends who shaped her basketball upbringing. While she praises each icon’s championship pedigree, rising star Caitlin Clark—her fellow guard and a current league standout—doesn’t make the list, prompting debate. Bueckers explains the omission reflects a focus on childhood idols, not a dismissal of Clark’s impact, and she later defends Clark against criticism. The piece contrasts Bueckers’ picks with Clark’s own 2024 Mount Rushmore choices, highlighting generational influences in the women’s game.

Angel Reese Dethrones Caitlin Clark? Emmanuel Acho Reveals What Could Change The WNBA’s Biggest Debate

Emmanuel Acho says Angel Reese’s surge – 30 points and 16 rebounds in the Dream’s 79-65 win over the Golden State Valkyries on Oct. 19 – shifts the WNBA’s biggest debate with Caitlin Clark.
