Monday's Tempo vs Dream matchup delivered another WNBA first. Rhyne Howard hit her 100th 3-pointer of the season in Atlanta's 107-95 win, reaching the mark in 31 games. That broke the previous record of 33 games, shared by Diana Taurasi and Howard herself.
Atlanta's Offense Takes Control in 2nd Half of Tempo vs Dream
Howard led Atlanta with 22 points on 6-of-11 from deep on the night. She also logged four rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and a block.
"I mean, shooters shoot," Howard said of her record after the game. "And to be quite honest, for me to still do that in the season that I've had shooting from three, just wait and see what next year holds."
Rhyne's teammates showed up against the Tempo, too.
Jordin Canada added 20 points and nine assists while Allisha Gray and Brionna Jones chipped in 15 points apiece. Angel Reese posted 20 points and 14 rebounds for her 22nd double-double of the season, a new Dream franchise record. She now sits seven shy of Alyssa Thomas' WNBA single-season record of 28.
For the Tempo, Marina Mabrey led with 36 points and seven 3-pointers, her third seven-plus triple game this season. Kiki Rice added 18 off the bench, and Nyara Sabally posted 12 points and 12 rebounds. Still, Toronto (10-22) suffered its ninth straight loss this season.
Atlanta (20-12) next hosts the Connecticut Sun on Thursday at 7 PM ET on WNBA League Pass. The Tempo head to the Dallas Wings on Wednesday at 8 PM ET on USA network.
