Angel Reese Stats mattered in more than one way on Monday. Her 20 points and 14 rebounds helped the Atlanta Dream beat the Toronto Tempo 107-95, but the bigger story was the record she set along the way: her 22nd double-double of the season, a new Atlanta Dream single-season mark.
Reese gives Atlanta another interior edge
Reese finished with 20 points, 14 rebounds, one steal and one block, going 7-of-14 from the field and 1-of-3 from the line. That kind of production has become the foundation of Atlanta's recent surge, because it gives the Dream a reliable scoring source inside and a possession advantage on the glass. The win was Atlanta's seventh in its last nine games, and it pushed the Dream to 20-12 and fifth place in the WNBA standings.
The record is significant, but it also comes with context. Reese's 22 double-doubles are still eight short of the WNBA single-season record of 28, so the chase is not finished. With 12 games remaining, though, she has already secured her place in Dream history, and Atlanta now has a player whose consistency is shaping its playoff position as much as any single hot stretch.
What the result means next
For the Toronto Tempo, the loss dropped them to 10-22 in their first season as a WNBA franchise. For Atlanta, it was another reminder that the standings are starting to reflect more than just form; they are reflecting a team that has found a repeatable identity. The Dream were set to face the Connecticut Sun on Thursday, and if Reese keeps producing at this level, Atlanta's climb could still have more room to run.
