Angel Reese 57th double-double as Dream beats Sky 82-75

Angel Reese delivered a dominant performance in her first regular-season game against her former team, leading the Atlanta Dream to an 82-75 road victory over the Chicago Sky on Tuesday night. The star forward recorded 17 points and 17 rebounds, securing her eighth double-double of the season and a historic 57th of her career through 75 games, the most in WNBA history.

The achievement places Reese in elite company across professional basketball.

Reese's performance was part of a strong team effort for the Dream, who improved their record to 8-3. Rhyne Howard also scored 17 points, eclipsing 2,500 for her career and becoming the youngest player in WNBA history to reach milestones of 2,500 points, 500 rebounds, 500 assists, 200 steals, and 100 blocks. Naz Hillmon added 16 points, while Allisha Gray and Jordin Canada each contributed 14.

For Chicago, now 4-8, Natasha Cloud led the bench with 18 points. Skylar Diggins-Smith scored 17 and Kamilla Cardoso had 13. Cloud hit a long jumper to give the Sky a 58-57...
