Overview
- Angel Reese finished with 15 points and 17 rebounds, including a career-high 11 offensive boards, as the Atlanta Dream beat the Toronto Tempo 102-77 on Sunday.
- Toronto forward Isabelle Harrison was initially called for a common foul before officials upgraded the play to a Flagrant 2 after review, resulting in her ejection.
- Under WNBA rules a Flagrant 2 carries two flagrant points and an automatic $1,000 fine, and the added points count toward possible suspensions for repeat offenders.
- Television footage showed Reese visibly emotional at the time of the takedown and teammates intervened, a moment that has focused attention on player safety and personal tensions between the former Chicago Sky teammates.
- The win moved Atlanta to 9-4 while Toronto fell to 7-7, and the incident is likely to intensify league and public discussion about officiating consistency and how the WNBA protects its marquee young players.
