Overview
- Angel Reese grabbed 26 rebounds Monday to break Chamique Holdsclaw’s 2003 single-game WNBA record and finished the game with 11 points, three assists and three steals.
- She also surpassed A’ja Wilson’s single-season mark by ending the night with 458 total rebounds and now leads the league in rebounds per game and offensive boards.
- Reese’s board work secured Atlanta a 78-71 win over the Los Angeles Sparks and moved the Dream closer to the top of the standings with six regular-season games remaining.
- Teammates and coaches credited Reese’s effort and Atlanta’s system for producing extra possessions, and Allisha Gray called her performance “a talent” in postgame remarks.
- With six games left Reese has chances to extend both records and her dominance on the glass is already forcing opposing teams to change how they defend the Dream.
