    Even though she wasn't playing Monday night, Angel Reese made a lot of noise following the Indiana Fever's victory over the Atlanta Dream.

    The Fever eked out an 84-79 win over the Dream, fending off a late rally in the fourth quarter where Atlanta outscored them 20-14.

    Indiana's star trio of Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, and Aliyah Boston got the job done offensively. Mitchell scored a game-high 29 points on 10-of-23 shooting from the field and 3-of-10 from beyond the arc, Clark displayed a balanced stat line of 19 points to go with seven rebounds and seven assists, and Boston finished with a double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds.

    It was a good win for the Fever, bouncing back from a disappointing loss to the Minnesota Lynx, the top team in the Western Conference. They improve to 14-16 on the season, staying firm at the seventh seed if the playoffs started today.

    The game also impacted the playoff picture for Angel Reese's Chicago Sky. The team only led by 0.5 games over Atlanta prior to Monday; with Atlanta losing and falling to 10-19, Chicago regains a one-game lead over them in the standings for the eighth and final spot in the postseason.

    Following the game, Angel Reese immediately took to social media to post a video of herself doing a dance after one of the Chicago Sky's games with no caption featured.

    It is possible that Reese may have posted at the most random time possible, and by coincidence, happened right after the Fever game.

    It could be that she is happy with the Dream losing, directly benefitting Chicago's playoff hopes.

    But there is also the idea that Reese is preparing herself for the next encounter with Clark and Indiana.

    That matchup is indeed happening soon, with both the Sky and Fever set for a must-watch event on Aug. 30 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
