What happened: Reese built her Game 3 double-double on an opening half that produced 15 points, seven rebounds, and two steals, per Alexa Philippou. It marked her third consecutive half in the championship series posting that stat line.

Why it matters: Sustained interior production makes the youngest player to log a 30-15 game in the WNBA Finals the central matchup problem of the title series. Earning 2026 Defensive Player of the Year honors and anchoring a championship run six months after a mid-year trade underscores her two-way impact on the postseason stage.

By the numbers: Reese pairs the three-game Finals double-double streak with a 30-point, 16-rebound Game 2 performance and 2026 season records of 26 rebounds in a single game and 458 total boards.

What to watch: Reese can push the Finals double-double streak to four games in Game 4.
