Here's why "Angel Reese" became a chant during Pistons-Magic Game 7.

The Detroit Pistons sent a clear message in Sunday's Game 7, crushing the Orlando Magic 116-94 to punch their ticket to the second round of the NBA playoffs. But it wasn't just the final score that had fans talking—a clever chant from the crowd added an extra layer of drama to the blowout victory.

As the game wound down and the Pistons' win was all but secured, a chorus of "Angel Reese" echoed through the arena. The taunt was aimed squarely at Magic center Wendell Carter Jr., who is currently dating the WNBA star. Reese, now with the Atlanta Dream after a blockbuster trade from Chicago, has been at the center of off-court drama involving Carter's teammate. Earlier in the series, Reese appeared to take a subtle dig at Pistons big man Jalen Duren on Instagram—rumored to be a former flame of hers—and Detroit fans made sure to return the favor when it mattered most.

The chant became a viral moment, captured on social media as Pistons supporters celebrated both the team's playoff advancement and a little bit of payback. It's a reminder that in the world of sports, rivalries can extend far beyond the hardwood.
