Angel Reese had 15 points, 17 rebounds and 11 offensive rebounds as the Atlanta Dream beat the Toronto Tempo 102-77 in WNBA play Sunday at Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto, according to ESPN's recap and event summary.
ESPN described Reese's 11 offensive rebounds as a career high and one short of tying the WNBA single-game record. The event summary marked the game final and listed an attendance of 8,210.
Reese Controls The Glass In Toronto
Reese played 27 minutes and made her impact mostly through extra possessions. Her 17 total rebounds were the largest number attached to the game, and the 11 offensive boards explain how Atlanta turned a road matchup into a 25-point win.
The Dream also got scoring support around her. ESPN's box score credited Allisha Gray with 26 points and Rhyne Howard with 24, giving Atlanta enough perimeter production to make the rebounding gap matter on the scoreboard.
Toronto's top scorer was Isabelle Harrison with 17 points. Julie Allemand added 13 and Maria Conde had 12, but the Tempo did not have enough answers for Atlanta's second-chance pressure.
Dream Turn Rebounds Into A One-Sided Result
The result was not just a stat-line curiosity. Atlanta won 102-77 on the road, and Reese's work on the offensive glass gave the Dream a repeatable source of possession control.
Near-record numbers can get noisy when they arrive in a close loss or a loose late-game stretch. This one came inside a confirmed road win, with Atlanta's leading scorers and Reese's rebounding combining into the same basketball argument.
For Toronto, the game leaves a simple problem to clean up: defensive possessions cannot end if the rebound keeps going back to the opponent. Against Atlanta, too many of them did.
