Angel Reese Sets WNBA Record as Dream Score Franchise‑High in Rout of Fever

Reese reached 1,000 career rebounds during Saturday's 113-96 win, a milestone that underscores Atlanta's edge on the glass and has helped lift the Dream to the East's top spot.

Overview

  • The Atlanta Dream beat the Indiana Fever 113-96 on Saturday, their second victory over Indiana in three days and a new franchise single-game scoring record.
  • Angel Reese recorded her 1,000th career rebound during the third quarter, a mark widely reported as the fastest in WNBA history though outlets differ on whether it came in 79 games or 76 games.
  • Atlanta's offense was balanced with all five starters in double figures and a decisive 28-15 third quarter that turned a halftime deficit into control of the game.
  • Caitlin Clark led the Fever with 26 points and seven assists but had seven turnovers, a trend that has intensified scrutiny of Indiana's rotations, foul trouble, and coaching after the back-to-back losses.
  • Reese's milestone follows her offseason trade to Atlanta and her continued league-leading rebounding, a development that reshapes the Dream's identity and raises expectations as the season progresses.
