Angel Reese put together another dominant two-way showing on Friday night against the Seattle Storm.<\/p>\n
The Atlanta Dream forward finished with 21 points, 13 rebounds, and two steals as Atlanta held off the Storm 98-89 at Gateway Center Arena, extending its winning streak to five games and improving to 18-10 on the season.<\/p>\n
It was Reese\u2019s 19th double-double of the year, but the box score only told part of the story.<\/p>\n
Six of Reese\u2019s 13 rebounds on Friday came on the offensive glass, pushing her season total past Brionna Jones\u2019 single-season franchise record of 136 offensive rebounds.<\/p>\n
Reese has now collected 137 offensive rebounds this season, setting a new Dream single-season franchise record. More importantly, the WNBA\u2019s rebounding queen got there in just 27 games.<\/p>\n
Besides Reese, Naz Hillmon added 18 points, Allisha Gray chipped in with 16, and Jordin Canada contributed with 10 points and 9 assists for the Dream.<\/p>\n

She has already broken the record with more than a month remaining before the WNBA playoffs, giving her plenty of time to raise the bar even higher.<\/p>\n So, once the final buzzer sounded, WNBA fans flooded X to shower Reese with praise and admiration.<\/p>\n \u201cTHIS IS LEGIT THE GREATEST TO EVER TOUCH A BASKETBALL,\u201d one fan posted<\/a>.<\/p>\n THIS IS LEGIT THE GREATEST TO EVER TOUCH A BASKETBALL pic.twitter.com\/wBtVs2vHoU<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/Bz33Ou4xIv<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 sheispaid (@sheispaid206) August 1, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cNo one like her.

Reese still holds the outright WNBA record for offensive rebounds in a season, collecting 172 during her rookie year in 2024, and she remains the fastest player in league history to reach 1,000 career rebounds.<\/p>\n The Dream acquired her from the Chicago Sky on April 6, and in her third WNBA season, she has looked every bit like the cornerstone the front office hoped for.<\/p>\n Over Atlanta\u2019s current five-game winning streak<\/a>, Reese is averaging 19.4 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.6 steals per game while shooting 48% from the field. She has also recorded four 20-point, 10-rebound performances during that stretch.<\/p>\n Her confidence has been just as noticeable as her rebounding. At one point on Friday, with Atlanta leading 29-17 in the second quarter, she jumped a passing lane, took the steal coast-to-coast, and finished it herself, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.<\/p>\n Reese has also been in the headlines this week for reasons that have nothing to do with box scores.<\/p>\n She was at the center of a league controversy involving a friendly $400 wager with Dallas Wings\u2019 Paige Bueckers over the outcome of their teams\u2019 matchup.<\/p>\n\n
