THE GLASS BELONGS TO ANGEL 😤 With 78 REB and counting, Angel Reese now holds the record for most rebounds in a single W Via @WNBA on X

What happened: Angel Reese set the WNBA record for the most rebounds in a single Finals series, reaching 78. The mark eclipses the previous record held by Sylvia Fowles, who grabbed 75 rebounds during the 2017 Finals. Reese and Fowles are the only two players in league history to collect at least 70 rebounds in a single Finals series.

Why it matters: The milestone comes during Reese's debut Finals appearance, reinforcing her interior dominance following her 2026 Defensive Player of the Year campaign. Her rebounding output helped extend the series to a decisive Game 7. The performance cements an immediate postseason impact just six months after joining her club via trade.

By the numbers: Reese entered Game 6 with 64 rebounds across the first five games before pushing her series total to 78, averaging 13.0 rebounds per game. Fowles established the previous high of 75 across five games with Minnesota in 2017.

What to watch: The series concludes with a winner-take-all Game 7 on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.
