The proposal took place as the Atlanta Dream beat the Golden State Valkyries 97-71 at State Farm Arena to take a 2-1 lead in the series, according to the Daily Mail. As FTMQ News reported earlier, Reese scored 21 points and took 12 rebounds during that Game 3 victory. [2][17]

The Golden State Valkyries then defeated the Atlanta Dream 67-62 in Game 4 to tie the series at two games each, according to the New York Post. ABC News Australia reported that Gabby Williams led the Valkyries to the victory, while FOX Sports reported that Reese blamed herself for a performance drop in the loss. [3][6][7]

Throughout the championship series, players from both teams have left the court and stayed in the locker room during the national anthem, the Daily Mail reported. Reese previously played college basketball for Maryland and LSU before joining the WNBA, where she plays forward for the Atlanta Dream. [4][13][18]
