Former LSU women's basketball stars Angel Reese and Flau'Jae Johnson faced off for the first time in the WNBA on Saturday with Reese taking the court for the Atlanta Dream and Johnson with the Seattle Storm.
The Storm never trailed in the contest and came out on top with a 105-90 victory, thanks in large part to Johnson's double-double.
