Angel Reese might just have had the finest game of her three-year WNBA career. Reese and the Atlanta Dream demolished the Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday night, as five players scored in double digits and the Dream shot 64 percent as a team in a dominant 124-88 win at Crypto.com Arena. Integral to the effort was Reese, who narrowly missed out on her second career triple-double. In only 30 minutes, Reese scored 20 points, secured 10 rebounds and dished out eight assists. She shot a perfect 9-9 from the floor and knocked down two 3-pointers as well. Angel Reese becomes the first player in WNBA history to record 20+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 8+ assists without missing a single shot. — Pop Base (@PopBase) August 21, 2026 NBA players to accomplish the same include Wilt Chamberlain, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic. pic.twitter.com/sRCiMyafN9 MORE: Angel Reese fuels historic night as Dream shatter franchise record This stat line puts Reese in league with all-time basketball greats.
