Gabriella talks about the vibes inside the Gateway Center:

“Fun, immediately, even when I show up on a Tuesday night, which is notoriously not the most popping night, it’s gonna be a good time, whether it’s the team that’s gonna bring that energy or the attendance, the audience that brings that energy. And usually, it’s a mix of both.”

Gabriella talks about the difference between this 2022 Atlanta Dream team and last season:

“Yeah, I didn’t think I was gonna be covering any playoff. So I was like, Okay, so my job’s done in August, or early August, but it’s looking like it may not be that way, which is a great surprise. And you know, we’ll see things could go very many ways in the next couple of weeks. But, yeah, I think it’s a big surprise. And I think, like you said, that has everything to do with Tanisha Wright and Dan Padover, who I think have assembled a team that is really incredible.

And you have a lot of love in Atlanta is what I keep saying because the team really loves one another. And they work really well together.”
