Atlanta, GA – On Thursday night the Atlanta Dream posted a franchise‑high 124 points in a dominant 124‑88 win over the Los Angeles Sparks. The standout performance came from forward Angel Reese, who shot a flawless 9‑for‑9 from the floor, including two three‑pointers, to finish with 20 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.
Historic shooting night
Reese’s perfect shooting line made her only the third player in WNBA history to record a 20‑point double‑double on 100% shooting. The effort also gave her the Dream’s record for most field goals without a miss in a single game. It marked her 25th double‑double of the season, leading the league, and she was just four double‑doubles shy of Alyssa Thomas’ record of 28 set in 2023.
Team contributions and streak
Rhyne Howard added 26 points, hitting five three‑pointers, while Naz Hillmon contributed 14 points and Allisha Gray added 13. The Dream’s win extended their eight‑game winning streak against the Sparks.
For Los Angeles, Cameron Brink scored 14 off the bench, Rae Burrell added 12, and Nneka Ogwumike posted 11. The Sparks, now 12‑24, were eliminated from playoff contention.
Game flow
Atlanta built a 42‑point lead early and reached the 100‑point mark with just over eight minutes left in the third quarter. The game was briefly halted when a sex toy was thrown onto the court during a free‑throw attempt by Los Angeles guard Jihyun Park.
Looking ahead
The Dream travel to Phoenix for their next matchup on Saturday, while the Sparks will host Connecticut.
