Atlanta Dream wing Rhyne Howard sets a WNBA single-season record for 3-pointers by making her 129th shot from beyond the arc in a game against the Connecticut Sun. The Athletic and Yahoo Sports report that she enters the matchup tied with Sabrina Ionescu at 128 triples, then hits the next 3-pointer to take sole possession of the record.
Yahoo Sports adds that Howard misses her first eight attempts from long range before finally connecting with about 6:45 remaining, after which she remains in sole lead for the season mark. The reports also describe Howard as a fifth-year, four-time All-Star who recently returns from international play, having won a gold medal with Team USA at the FIBA World Cup just days earlier.
In related coverage, Yahoo Sports also highlights that Angel Reese scores 30 points with 10 rebounds in the same game, while extending her own season milestone for double-doubles, as the Dream defeat the Sun. The focus across outlets remains on Howard’s record-breaking 3-point total and the in-game shift that produces it.
