Rhyne Howard sets WNBA season record for 3-pointers, Angel Reese scores 30 with 10 rebounds as Dream win big over Sun

Howard broke Sabrina Ionescu's season record for 3-pointers, while Reese extended her record for double-doubles in a season.

On Thursday, the Atlanta Dream claimed a massive 103-59 victory over the Connecticut Sun, with Rhyne Howard setting a new single-season record with 129 3-pointers made. Howard hit her 129th 3-pointer with 6:45 left in the fourth quarter, tying Sabrina Ionescu's previous record from the previous season. Rounding out her impressive effort, Howard tallied 10 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals.

Meanwhile, Angel Reese delivered a 30-point, 10-rebound performance, marking her 30th double-double of the season. Reese also recorded her 30th double-double of the season with the Dream, playing just 25 minutes. This marked the fewest minutes a player has ever achieved in a double-double in WNBA history. Reese, who is averaging a career-best 16.5 points per game, continues to shine for the championship contender Atlanta Dream, which stands at 28-14 and shares the third seed in the WNBA standings.
