Overview
- The Atlanta Dream beat the Seattle Storm 98-89 on Friday night, extending their win streak to five games.
- Angel Reese recorded a 21-point, 13-rebound double-double and grabbed her 137th offensive rebound to surpass the franchise single-season mark.
- Naz Hillmon scored 18 points and she and Reese combined for 39 points as the frontcourt pairing dubbed the 'Thunder Twins' led Atlanta’s interior attack.
- Brionna Jones contributed 14 points off the bench and coach Karl Smesko credited the team’s frontcourt depth and a plan focused on inside scoring for the late-game separation.
- Atlanta entered August near a 17-10 record and the staff points to Reese’s improving three-point shooting as a key development for the team’s playoff push while her mid‑July left-leg check remains something the club will continue to monitor.
