The Atlanta Dream have swept their back-to-back games against the Indiana Fever, punctuated by a 113-96 victory that stands as the highest-scoring game in franchise history. The 221 combined points scored across these two meetings represent the most prolific two-game offensive stretch the organization has ever produced.
This weekend also marked a significant milestone in the rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark, as Reese secured back-to-back wins over Clark for the first time in their professional careers. While Clark currently holds a 5-3 lead in their WNBA head-to-head record, Reese has narrowed the gap to 7-6 when factoring in their storied college battles.
Angel Reese receives warm welcome in Chicago despite Atlanta Dream move
Historic Boards: Angel Reese Shatters the 1,000-Rebound Barrier
While Reese finished the game with 18 points and a season-low 8 rebounds, she secured her place in the record books by becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 1,000 career rebounds. She accomplished this feat in just 79 games, comfortably eclipsing the previous record of 89 games held by WNBA legend Tina Charles.
Since entering the league in 2024, no player has been more dominant on the glass, as Reese continues to lead the league in both total rebounds and rebounds per game. Her impact has transformed the Atlanta Dream, who are now aggressively pushing for a playoff berth, a stark turnaround after Reese’s struggles during her previous two seasons in Chicago.
Beyond the rebounding record, Reese has cemented herself as an all-around force. She is now the fastest player in league history to accumulate 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, a continuation of a trajectory that saw her reach those numbers since the 300/300 milestones faster than any player before her.
Much like Clark has redefined playmaking with her assist numbers, Reese has become the definitive rebounding leader of her generation.
With both stars only 24 years old and currently in their third season, it is clear that these are merely the first of many records they will dismantle. The Dream now shift their focus to their first-ever matchup against the expansion Toronto Tempo, followed by a challenging two-game road trip through California to face the Golden State Valkyries.
