Angel Reese Shatters WNBA Single-Game Rebounding Record With 24-Year-Old Mark Falling

Reese surpassed the previous single-game mark of 24 rebounds, which had been set by Chamique Holdsclaw for Washington on May 23, 2003. Although Reese struggled from the field by shooting 4 of 14, she utilized her misses to control the glass, pulling down eight offensive rebounds and 18 defensive boards to seal the win, according to AP News.

Last time I was here, I didn’t miss any shots. Tonight I couldn’t hit (anything) so I knew I was going be able to get them on the rebounding side, Reese said during the postgame show, as reported by Nypost. I just want to be there for my team. Offensively, defensively, whatever it takes to win.
