  "account": "Angel Reese etched her name into WNBA history on Saturday as she shattered the single-season rebound record with a remarkable 500 boards. The Atlanta Dream star achieved this feat during a clash against her former team, the Chicago Sky. Reese's milestone came at the 1:53 mark of the first half when she blocked a layup attempt by Gabriela Jaquez, generating the rebound.\n\nAfter a dominant performance, Reese closed the first half with 16 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. The Dream took a 51-47 lead into halftime, with Reese driving the momentum of the game. She had already set the league record for most rebounds in a single game earlier this month, surpassing A’ja Wilson's previous mark of 26 boards in a 78-71 win over the Los Angeles Sparks on August 24. Reese’s third-year career has been marked by consecutive games with double-digit rebounds. Updates on this historic achievement will follow.",
