CHICAGO (AP) — Angel Reese had 17 points and 17 rebounds in the first regular-season matchup against her former team, Rhyne Howard also scored 17 points, and the Atlanta Dream beat the Chicago Sky 82-75 on Tuesday night.
Reese, who returned to Chicago where she was drafted No. 7 overall in 2024, secured her eighth double-double of the season with six minutes left in the third quarter. Her 57 career double-doubles are the most through 75 games in WNBA history.
Howard eclipsed 2,500 career points and became the youngest player in WNBA history to record 2,500 points, 500 rebounds, 500 assists, 200 steals and 100 blocks.
Naz Hillmon finished with 16 points and Allisha Gray, who was held to two points in the first half, added 14 for Atlanta (8-3). Jordin Canada also scored 14 points.
Natasha Cloud scored 18 points off the bench for Chicago (4-8). Skylar Diggins added 17 points and Kamilla Cardoso had 13.
LYNX 100, WINGS 76
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Rookie Olivia Miles had 24 points, seven rebounds and six assists, Kayla McBride added 22 points, and Minnesota used a big first half to cruise past Dallas for their eighth straight victory.
Natasha Howard scored 21 points and Courtney Williams added 16 for Minnesota (10-2), which became the first WNBA team to reach 10 wins this season. McBride made four of Minnesota’s seven 3-pointers.
Paige Bueckers led Dallas (7-4) with 23 points. Arike Ogunbowale added 16 points, and Jessica Shepard had 12 points and nine rebounds. Azzi Fudd, the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, finished with six points on 2-of-12 shooting.
VALKYRIES 87, MERCURY 81
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Veronica Burton scored 19 of her 25 points in the first half as Golden State quickly built a big lead and also dished out eight assists, Gabby Williams added 25 points, and the Valkyries held off Phoenix for a win.
Burton made 5 of her 7 shots in the initial two quarters and finished 7 for 15 from the floor. Janelle Salaun contributed 11 points and five rebounds off the bench for the Valkyries, who shot 57.1% on the way to a 49-32 lead at intermission and 44.3% for the game.
Williams’ 3-pointer with 5:58 to play put the Valkyries ahead 74-67, then she found Kaila Charles for a key layup with 2:26 left. Kayla Thornton’s 3 the next time down helped seal it before Williams converted a three-point play moments later.
