Angel Reese posts a career-high 31 points and 14 rebounds as the Atlanta Dream defeat the Phoenix Mercury 99-89. Reese’s performance helps Atlanta secure a playoff berth, with the Dream improving to 24-13 after winning five of their last six games.

Phoenix is led by Kahleah Copper, who scores 38 points. Yahoo Sports also notes Alyssa Thomas’s historic triple-double in the broader playoff-picture context, while the Winnipeg Free Press highlights Reese’s 31-point night as the key story. Despite Copper’s scoring output, the Mercury cannot overcome Atlanta’s lead late in the game, and Phoenix falls short in its attempt to win.
