Angel Reese pulled out all the stops for her Atlanta Dream teammates, celebrating their WNBA semifinals win with a lavish NYC bash that went until 3:30 a.m. ET. This wasn’t just a dinner, it was a statement: the Dream are hyped for the Finals, and their star player is making sure everyone knows it.
The Epic Celebration That Went Until Sunrise
Reese made sure her teammates were absolutely taken care of, booking a private room at Sei Less restaurant in New York City. Sources close to the celebration spilled all the details: the music was cranked, the team was dancing, and the vibes were absolutely electric. Talk about living in the moment! And the spread? Forget basic appetizers. We’re talking lobster spoons, short rib, shrimp dumplings, oxtail spring rolls, and king crab legs. Seriously, this feast sounds unreal. The restaurant even kept its doors open longer for them, with the team finally rolling out around 3:30 a.m. ET. One source told the outlet that Angel was “exhilarated” to share the moment, and she even left a “generous tip” for the staff for their incredible accommodation. You just love to see a player like Reese celebrating hard with her squad and showing that kind of appreciation.
Reese’s Record-Breaking Season Ignites Dream’s Finals Run
This isn’t just a party for the sake of it; this celebration comes after the Dream knocked out the New York Liberty in the WNBA semifinals, punching their ticket to the 2026 WNBA Finals. Can you believe it? This is the first time the Dream have been in the Finals since way back in 2013! And a huge part of that journey is Angel Reese herself. She only signed with the Dream in April after two years with the Chicago Sky, but she’s already made history. Reese became the first Atlanta Dream player ever to be named the Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year. Not only that, she set a new WNBA single-season record by blowing past 500 total rebounds! She even repped Team USA at the 2026 FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup, bringing home a championship win against France. When you have a player putting up numbers and bringing that kind of energy, you know your team means business.
The Atlanta Dream are now set to face the Golden State Valkyries in the WNBA Finals. Game 1 of the series kicks off on October 17 at 3:30 p.m. ET at the Chase Center in San Francisco. After a celebration like that, you know Reese and the Dream are heading into the Finals with maximum confidence and a fire in their belly. You definitely won’t want to miss this!
