Angel Reese Goes 9‑for‑9 and Breaks Offensive‑Rebound Record in Dream Rout

Reese’s flawless performance shifted questions about her finishing into momentum for Atlanta’s playoff push.

Overview

  • Reese shot a perfect 9‑for‑9 for 20 points with 10 rebounds and eight assists in the Atlanta Dream’s 124‑88 win over the Los Angeles Sparks Thursday night.
  • Her third offensive rebound in the first half gave her 173 offensive boards for the season, a new WNBA single‑season record certified by Atlanta Dream PR.
  • The Dream’s 124 points set a franchise single‑game scoring mark and featured team highs in made field goals and assists as Atlanta improved to 23‑13 and moved closer to a top‑seed position with eight regular‑season games left.
  • Coach Karl Smesko credited Reese’s response to recent missed shots and said the outing — her 25th double‑double of the season — is something the team can build on.
  • The game included a brief third‑quarter stoppage after an object was thrown onto the court and ended Los Angeles’s playoff hopes as the Sparks were eliminated from contention.
