COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) — Breanna Stewart had 19 points, 11 rebounds and five assists, Satou Sabally also scored 19 points and made five 3-pointers , and the New York Liberty beat the Atlanta Dream 104-90 on Thursday night for their sixth straight victory. Sabally made five of her six 3-point attempts and Jonquel Jones added four to help New York go 16 of 31 from long distance. Sabally’s fifth 3-pointer gave the Liberty a 91-73 lead midway through the fourth quarter. New York shot 54% overall ...

Six in a row? The Liberty look to keep the streak alive, but a revamped Atlanta Dream squad stands in the way.

Angel Reese was the same player back in Chicago. But she is thriving in Atlanta with her elite rebounding, and the team seems like a better fit for her championship dreams.

The Atlanta Dream led the league in rebounding last season. Then they traded for one of the league’s premier rebounders, Angel Reese.

The Liberty’s road game against the Atlanta Dream on Thursday may be their biggest challenge of the season yet.

CHICAGO — Near another bad ending on Tuesday night, many people filtered out of Wintrust Arena. A smaller cohort decided to repeat themselves. Sell The Team! Sell The Team! It wasn’t the first time frustrated Chicago Sky fans have chanted this, but the timing was a touch confusing. Said team had played well. Said team nearly beat the Atlanta Dream, one of the best clubs in the WNBA. The Sky fell, but tolerably so. The explanation arrived a few minutes later. A fan hustled to the floor after the

Reese and the Atlanta Dream are 8–3.

In the Atlanta Dream’s 82-75 win over the Chicago Sky on Tuesday, forward Angel Reese did more than help her team win; she made a small piece of basketball history. Reese had another double-double performance with 17 points and 17 rebounds, which is not only the most by a WNBA player through her first 75 career games but now ranks among the second-highest totals in NBA and WNBA history over the last 40 years.

Facing the ghosts from your past can often be challenging. But if Angel Reese felt any of that when the Atlanta Dream locked horns with the Chicago Sky, she certainly wasn’t showing it.

While Reese first returned to the Windy City for WNBA preseason action back in April, she got more run in Wintrust Arena on Tuesday and turned in yet another double-double.

A frustrating sequence against Atlanta could end up costing the Chicago Sky veteran more than just points on the scoreboard.

The Chicago Sky know the formula for Angel Reese’s success. They spent the last two years cultivating and supporting the forward’s tenacity on the boards. Her play in the paint was a key fixture of the Sky’s attempts to build a new culture under head coach Tyler Marsh. But even that familiarity couldn’t help the Sky outlast their former star in an 82-75 loss to the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday, a ...

CHICAGO — Because this was not Angel Reese’s actual first return to her first professional basketball home, the welcome back Tuesday was a little muted. Just one fan hustled to floor level to hold up a sign a few feet from Reese when the Atlanta Dream emerged for stretching. Only one more displayed a sign behind the visitors’ bench. Hoots and whistles followed her official introduction — “At center, Angel Reese” — just before the 6 p.m. CT tipoff, but dissipated quickly. There was no in-game tri
