The Atlanta Dream had a historic WNBA game against the Chicago Sky on Wednesday.
Dream Makes Franchise History in Blowout Win Over Angel Reese's Sky on Wednesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Atlanta Dream capped off the first half of the 2025 WNBA season on a high note. The Dream defeated the Chicago Sky 86-49 on Wednesday, dominating their game. Unfortunately for the Sky, the team didn't have their best player, Angel Reese.
Even before their game, it was reported that Reese would miss the contest due to a leg injury. Not having her on the floor was a big blow to their lineup, since the star forward was having a great run this month. In the past five games, the former LSU star was averaging 18.8 points, 12.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists.
The Dream, though, took advantage of it and dominated the game.
Following the contest, the Dream announced that the 37-point win by the team is the second-largest margin in franchise history.
