Overview
- Howard set the league mark by sinking her 129th 3-pointer with 6:45 left in the fourth quarter of Thursday’s 103-59 win over the Connecticut Sun.
- She snapped an 0-for-8 stretch from long range before the record shot and finished the game 1-for-9 from three.
- Angel Reese led Atlanta with 30 points and 10 rebounds in 25 minutes, recording her 30th double-double of the season in the fewest minutes on record for such a line.
- Howard reached several season milestones that built to the record, including becoming the fastest player to 100 made 3s in a season (31 games) and the youngest to 400 career 3s, and she is posting career highs in scoring, shooting percentages and steals.
- The accomplishment strengthens the Dream’s positioning in the standings and highlights Howard’s development into a two-way star whose deep shooting and defense could shift Atlanta’s playoff outlook.
