Angel Reese Dominates With 11 Offensive Boards as Dream Rout Tempo

Reese’s rebound surge is reshaping Atlanta’s identity and drawing scrutiny over physical play and officiating.

Overview

  • The Atlanta Dream beat the Toronto Tempo 102-77 on Sunday, with Atlanta improving to 9-4 and Toronto falling to 7-7.
  • Angel Reese finished with 15 points and 17 rebounds, including a career-high 11 offensive rebounds that were one short of the WNBA single-game mark.
  • Reese now has nine double-doubles this season and 59 career double-doubles through 76 games, the most in WNBA history in that span.
  • Toronto forward Isabelle Harrison, a former Chicago teammate of Reese, was called for a flagrant foul 2 and ejected after video showed her tackling Reese to the floor and triggering a brief on-court scuffle.
  • Reese was acquired by Atlanta on April 6 in a trade for two first-round picks and her interior play has lifted the Dream this season while raising questions about physicality, officiating and how opponents will respond.
