What happened: Angel Reese took a parting shot at the Chicago Sky while reflecting on her WNBA Defensive Player of the Year honors. The forward explained that her trade to the Atlanta Dream allowed her to finally reach her full potential.

Why it matters: The comments highlight the contrasting fortunes of the two franchises since the move. While Chicago missed the postseason entirely, Reese anchors an Atlanta squad that defeated the New York Liberty 92-82 in a semifinal opener.

What to watch: Reese and the Dream will look to maintain their momentum as they continue their semifinal matchup against the Liberty.
