COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) --- Allisha Gray scored 22 points, Angel Reese had 18
points and 11 rebounds for her league-best 15th double-double of the season,
and the Atlanta Dream beat the Seattle Storm 89-78 on Thursday night to end a
five-game losing streak.
Reese passed Tina Charles (63) for the most double-doubles in a player's first
three WNBA seasons. She was helped off the court with 1:19 remaining after
rolling her right ankle.
Reese put the Dream ahead 68-48 midway through the third quarter, and they led
by at least eight points throughout in the fourth.
Natisha Hiedeman led Seattle (6-18) with 20 points and Dominique Malonga had 15
points and nine rebounds. Flau'jae Johnson finished with 12 points. Seattle had
a season-high 21 turnovers.
Rhyne Howard added 19 points for Atlanta (13-9), which won for the first time
since June 22. Howard went 4 of 11 from 3-point range, while Seattle shot 3 for
20. The Dream had 14-plus steals for the third straight game.
LSU women's basketball coach Kim Mulkey was in attendance to see former players
Reese and Johnson.
