“Angel Reese” Chants Erupt as Pistons Crowd Backs Jalen Duren by Targeting Wendell Carter Jr. in Game 7
Credits Imagn ©Credits Imagn On court, Detroit and Orlando fought for their first postseason series win since 2008 and 2010. But there was another chapter in the rivalry, which featured Angel Reese in the middle as she cheered her boyfriend, Magic star Wendell Carter Jr. While doing so in this series, she took some alleged shots at her ex, Pistons center Jalen Duren.
During Game 7, the Little Caesars Arena remembered the receipts and loudly returned them after a 116-94 win. It was the winner-take-all Game 7, and the Pistons fans used all the psychological warfare. Whenever Carter Jr.
stepped to the stripe during Detroit’s blowout win, the home fans serenaded him with loud “Angel Reese” chants. Just another messy episode of “Love & Basketball”. Detroit fans did that because on social media, it was the WNBA star who started trolling Duren.
It was done on multiple occasions throughout the series. The Magic registered a 94-88 victory over the Detroit Pistons in Game 4 at the Kia Center. Reese did not waste any time in throwing shade at her alleged ex.
She reposted a video on her Instagram story of him getting dunked on by Magic star Jamal Cain as Orlando secured the upset win. Now, this was a 15-second reel that Magic created for their win, which began with the dunk moment. Now, there was no highlight-worthy moment from Wendell Carter Jr.
