Angel Reese has 30 points and 10 rebounds to help the Dream rout the Sun 103-59
Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese sparked a dominating 103-59 victory over Connecticut Sun on Thursday night, scoring 30 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. The game marked the first WNBA contest after a three-week hiatus due to the FIBA World Cup. Reese's impressive performance included a crucial 3-pointer in the third quarter, bringing the Dream's lead to 61-40.
Her 30-point, 10-rebound game represented her 30th double-double of the season, just one point shy of her career high. Rhyne Howard of the Sun set a WNBA record with 129 3-pointers, hitting his 40th attempt, but finished with only 10 points. Allisha Gray contributed 10 points for Atlanta, breaking her own franchise record with 782 points for the season.
Connecticut's Olivia Nelson-Ododa tallied 13 points, all coming in the first half, but the team was outscored 31-11 in the third and 27-13 in the fourth. Brionna Jones of the Dream will miss the remainder of the season due to a left leg injury sustained on August 13.
