Angel Reese has stunning perfect shooting night in the Dream’s 124-88 romp over the Sparks
In a dominant display, the Atlanta Dream shattered the WNBA's franchise record for points scored in a game, defeating the Los Angeles Sparks 124-88 on Thursday night. Star player Angel Reese led the charge with a remarkable performance, shooting a perfect 9-for-9 from the field, including a pair of three-pointers, to tally 20 points.
She also contributed 10 rebounds and eight assists, marking her 25th double-double of the season. Reese's shooting prowess was extraordinary, as she set a Dream franchise record with 18 points in the first half and achieved a 20-point double-double, becoming the third player in WNBA history to accomplish this feat on 100% shooting accuracy.
Her performance also earned her a WNBA-leading 25th double-double of the season. Rhyne Howard contributed 26 points and scored three three-pointers for the Dream, who have won eight consecutive games against the Sparks. Naz Hillmon and Allisha Gray added significant contributions, each scoring 14 points for the Dream. Cameron Brink provided 14 points off the bench for the Sparks, now without playoff contention.
The Dream's 42-point lead allowed them to reach the 100-point mark with 8:10 remaining in the third quarter. Play was briefly halted with 2:59 left in the third quarter after a sex toy was thrown onto the court near Jihyun Park's free throw attempt.
