Angel Reese delivered an exceptional performance Thursday night as the Atlanta Dream dominated the Los Angeles Sparks 124-88. The standout forward connected on all nine of her field goal attempts, including two three-pointers, while accumulating 20 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists and three steals. This flawless shooting display made Reese only the third player in WNBA history to record a 20-point double-double on perfect shooting accuracy.
The performance marked a significant milestone in Reese’s record-breaking season. She surpassed her previous franchise record for offensive rebounds during the first half and established a new Dream franchise record for consecutive successful field goals. Most notably, Reese extended her league-leading double-double total to 25 for the season, putting her within striking distance of Alyssa Thomas’ single-season record of 28 with eight games remaining in Atlanta’s regular schedule.
Reese’s dominant showing came just days after a disappointing overtime loss to Indiana, during which she missed two crucial layups that haunted her. The resilient forward bounced back impressively, combining for 41 points, 20 rebounds and 12 assists across two consecutive victories over the Aces and Sparks. Coach Karl Smesko praised her recent performances, calling Thursday’s game “outstanding” and expressing optimism for continued success moving forward.
