Angel Reese struggles badly after bold comments as Valkyries beat Dream to even WNBA Finals
Angel Reese's bold pregame comments backfired as she missed layup after layup in Game 4, and the Golden State Valkyries evened the WNBA Finals at 2-2.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Angel Reese and the Dream’s Game 4 loss, but they frame her role differently. Newsweek centers Reese accepting responsibility for a disappointing performance, while Fox News foregrounds her “bold pregame comments” and says they backfired, adding the detail that she missed multiple layups. The shared emphasis is on Reese as the key figure in the coverage, but Fox News is the only one to highlight the pregame remarks.
