Atlanta improved to 11-4, tying the Las Vegas Aces for the second-best record in the WNBA, behind the Minnesota Lynx.

She reached the mark in 79 games, surpassing Tina Charles, who previously achieved it in 89 games. The rebound was part of a third-quarter stretch where the Dream outscored Indiana 28-15 to take control of the contest.

The Fever led 59-56 at halftime after shooting 61% from the field and 60% from three-point range, with Kelsey Mitchell scoring 16 first-half points and Caitlin Clark adding 15. However, Atlanta responded after the break, including a 13-0 run that featured six points from Reese, to take a 73-65 lead on a Rhyne Howard three-pointer.

The Dream extended their advantage into the fourth quarter, entering the final period up 84-74 before stretching the advantage further. Atlanta’s 113 points also set a new franchise single-game scoring record.
