Missed layups are part of basketball, even at the professional level, but not all missed layups are equal, and Angel Reese<\/a> may understand that reality more than any other player in the WNBA.<\/p>\n

The three-time All-Star is no stranger to missing layups \u2013 it comes with the territory as a post position player \u2013 but she’s also been on the receiving end of plenty<\/em> of criticism for her, let’s call them efforts, underneath the basket. One of her most recent bricked layup attempts carried more weight than others, and she admitted it weighed on her in a major way.<\/p>\n

With her Atlanta Dream<\/a> team knotted up with the Indiana Fever 81-81 in the fourth quarter on Sunday, Reese found herself with an opportunity to win the game with just seconds remaining. She missed the layup, the game went to overtime, and Caitlin Clark’s Fever got the last laugh, 95-91.<\/p>\n

ANGEL REESE ADMITS SHE WAS ‘PLAYING LIKE S—‘ BEFORE HELPING DREAM BUILD HALFTIME LEAD OVER FEVER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I didn\u2019t sleep, and the competitor in me wanted to win that game so bad,” Reese recalled<\/a> of the missed game-winner following the Dream’s win over the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday. “I replayed that play so many times, but I\u2019m like: Why would I let one moment dictate everything else that I have going on that is positive?”<\/p>\n

Reese scored 15 points and snagged 14 rebounds in the loss to the Fever over the weekend, but the double-double wasn’t memorable as the missed layup or Clark being caught on camera smirking after the failed game-winning attempt.<\/p>\n

Reese made it a point to try and flush the bad ending against the Fever before her team’s eventual win over the Aces on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“It would have been negative for me not to come out tonight and just bounce back, and I knew they expected it from me \u2014 so just being able to do it obviously against [A’ja Wilson], trying to deflect as many passes as I can,” Reese said after the Dream’s win over Las Vegas. “I mean, she\u2019s going to get her shots up, of course. But just knowing my spots and how great I am defensively to put pressure on her.”<\/p>\n

Wilson scored 27 points and recorded 14 rebounds in the Aces’ 97-82 loss against Reese and the Dream.<\/p>\n

Reese leads the WNBA in rebounding this season, averaging 12 per contest, and has notched 24 double-doubles in 34 games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
