Angel Reese Breaks WNBA Offensive‑Rebound Record With Perfect 9‑for‑9 Night

Her flawless 20-point, 10-rebound outing signaled a rare surge in scoring efficiency and strengthened Atlanta’s push toward the playoffs.

Overview

  • The Atlanta Dream routed the Los Angeles Sparks 124-88 on Thursday night as Reese went 9-for-9 from the field and finished with 20 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.
  • Reese secured her 173rd offensive rebound in the second quarter to reclaim and extend the WNBA single-season offensive-rebound record she first set in 2024.
  • Atlanta’s 124 points set a franchise season high and reflected a scorching team shooting night that included 63.9% from the field and 61.5% from three.
  • ESPN Insights and league reports noted Reese became just the third player in WNBA history with a 20-point double-double on 100% shooting, an outcome that directly addresses season-long efficiency questions.
  • The win eliminated the Sparks from playoff contention, featured a brief delay when an object was thrown onto the court, and continued Reese’s run that has her closing in on the league single-season double-double mark and reshaping her reputation as both a rebounder and a developing two-way scorer.
