Angel Reese sets WNBA record as Dream upset Lynx

Angel Reese set a WNBA single-season record with her 29th double-double on Sunday, August 30, 2026, leading the Atlanta Dream to an 89-81 upset victory over the league-leading Minnesota Lynx at Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia. The win came just hours after the league rescinded an eighth technical foul that would have suspended Reese for the contest. Reese finished with 15 points and 11 rebounds, surpassing the previous record of 28 double-doubles set by Alyssa Thomas in 2023. Her performance was a key factor in Atlanta's victory, which snapped the Lynx's eight-game road win streak.
