What happened: Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese and rookie Madina Okot shared a moment on social media ahead of their high-stakes matchup against the New York Liberty. The pair has been dubbed a "double-double duo" by fans as they anchor Atlanta's defense following Reese's 2026 offseason move to the Dream.

Why it matters: The burgeoning chemistry between the two stars has been central to Atlanta's 8-3 start and their contention for the Commissioner's Cup. Reese's veteran leadership and historic rebounding pace have provided a stable foundation for the young roster as they battle for the top seed in the East.

By the numbers: Reese recorded 17 points and 17 rebounds on June 9, becoming the first player in The Dream (8-3) currently sit a half-game ahead of the Liberty (8-4) in the standings.

What to watch: The Dream host the New York Liberty tonight at Gateway Center Arena with first place in the Eastern Conference on the line.
