The Dream move to 3-1 in 2025 Commissioner's Cup play. With tonight's win, $10,000 has now been donated to the Center for Black Women's Wellness.

The 33-point margin of victory is the biggest for the Atlanta Dream since 2014 and marks the third time this year they have kept their opponent under 60 points.

With her fourth three-pointer of the night, Rhyne Howard became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 300 career threes, doing so in just 114 games. She's now the second-youngest player to reach the milestone-three days older than Diana Taurasi was when she hit 300.

Naz Hillmon recorded her first double-double of the season with 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists-a season high in boards.

With 18 made threes, Atlanta set a new franchise record for most three-pointers in a single game. The WNBA record is 19.
