Atlanta Dream superstar Angel Reese has sent a championship message ahead of her WNBA playoff debut.
The Dream are second in the Eastern Conference standings with a 17-10 record, and will almost certainly make the postseason.
This will be Reese’s first opportunity to perform on the biggest stage, as she missed the playoffs in both seasons with the Chicago Sky.
The 24-year-old is not only excited to make her playoff debut but also to contend for a championship.

What Angel Reese expects from the Atlanta Dream in the playoffs
Angel Reese, averaging 15.6 points and 11.5 rebounds per game this season, wants to make history with the Atlanta Dream.
Even though she has never played in a playoff game, Reese is not interested in striving for anything less than a title.
“Playoffs and a championship. I don’t know about anyone else. I came here to win a championship,” she revealed her goals to ESPN’s Monica McNutt.
When asked whether that brought added pressure, Reese responded: “No. Pressure makes diamonds, baby.”
The former LSU Tiger then explained what the Atlanta Dream must do over the coming weeks to develop a championship mentality.
“I think if we stay together,” Reese said. “A team is at its best when we’re all together on the same page. Not everybody’s night is going to be perfect.
“It’s just knowing that we have each other’s back through it all. When everything is going on, and adversity hits… we say adversity builds character.
“Everybody in the locker room just continues to come together. We have so many weapons. I’m ready. We’re ready. This is going to be my first playoffs, so I’m excited.”
Reese deserves huge credit for embracing the pressure of winning a championship in her first season with a new team.
