  • Angel Reese shot 1-for-8 and committed 8 turnovers in her Atlanta home debut Sunday, finishing with 8 rebounds and a minus-13 rating in an 85-84 loss to the Las Vegas Aces.
  • Karl Smesko effectively benched Reese with the Dream down by double digits, and Atlanta nearly erased the deficit after she went to the bench.
  • State Farm Arena was sold out for Reese's first home game, but she missed 6 layups and even lost a shoe during one of the miscues.
  • Through 3 games with Atlanta, Reese is 9-for-27 from the field with 16 turnovers, 11 fouls and a team-worst minus-15, despite 38 rebounds and 5 blocks.
  • The uneven start follows Reese's offseason move from Chicago to Atlanta; the Dream remain home this week and host Dallas again on Friday.
