A defensive rebound becomes an attacking opportunity: Angel Reese takes the ball coast-to-coast and stretches Atlanta's advantage in ESPN's Game 3 highlights. Later, Rhyne Howard blocks Tiffany Hayes, bringing the Dream bench and the State Farm Arena crowd into the moment.

The package is ESPN's most-watched new upload of a fifteen-post week. Atlanta finishes with a 97-71 victory over the Golden State Valkyries, taking control of the Finals series. In the comments, viewers pick out Reese's outside shooting and seemingly tireless motor. Another recurring subject is less technical: the unmistakable screaming audible through the highlights.

ESPN gives the evening more than a highlights treatment. On The Wrap-Up, Sam Ravech and Lawrencia Moten examine Atlanta's defensive pressure, with reporter Angel Gray joining from the arena. Elsewhere, Louisville's exhibition win over Kansas supplies college basketball action, while brief uploads flag Kyrie's return and Drake's presence in Toronto for Kawhi's visit.

The channel added roughly 16.6 million views over the week, with subscribers unchanged. Daily viewing is running above its usual level. Among nearby sports channels, Bleacher Report and FOX Sports collected larger weekly view gains, while NBC Sports had a smaller week. For ESPN, the freshest focal point is Atlanta, with both the game action and its postgame conversation on the channel.
