Australian rookie Izzy Borlase played a part in the Atlanta Dream's first ever WNBA finals win, as they beat the Golden State Valkyries 79-65 to level the series at one game each, ABC News reports.
Angel Reese led the Dream with 30 points and 16 rebounds in San Francisco, becoming only the third player to record at least 30 points and 15 rebounds in a finals game. The Dream had been swept in all three of their previous finals appearances.
Borlase, 22, played almost 17 minutes and scored two points. Her block late in the second quarter led to a three-pointer from Allisha Gray and drew a celebration from Reese. Atlanta took control in the third quarter and now has home advantage for the next two games of the best-of-seven series.
