Overview

  • Rhyne Howard scored a season-high 36 points and tied the WNBA single-game record with nine 3-pointers in the Dream’s victory at Gateway Center Arena.
  • Brittney Griner moved into sole possession of second place on the league’s all-time blocks list with two rejections against Chicago.
  • Kamilla Cardoso (15 points, nine rebounds) and Angel Reese (12 points, nine boards) posted near double-doubles but the Sky managed just 31 points after halftime.
  • The loss dropped Chicago to 2-7 on the season, marking their third straight defeat and cementing their status as the league’s worst third-quarter team.
  • With veteran point guard Courtney Vandersloot sidelined by injury, Marsh is tweaking rotations ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Connecticut Sun.
