What happened
Angel Reese reached 500 points for a season for the first time in her career, adding a new scoring milestone to her résumé. She also moved into 15th place on the WNBA's all-time double-doubles list during the same game.
Reese finished with 15 points, 14 rebounds and six assists, a line that combined scoring, rebounding and playmaking in a single outing.
Why it matters
The milestone extends a double-double pace that has put Reese among the league's most consistent producers this season. Jessica Shepard briefly tied Reese for the league lead in double-doubles last month, underscoring how tight the race at the top has become.
Crossing 500 points for the season gives Reese a scoring marker to go along with a game built primarily on the boards and as a distributor, rounding out her statistical profile.
By the numbers
500 points reached this season. 15th on the WNBA's all-time double-doubles list. Game line: 15 points, 14 rebounds, six assists.
What to watch next
Reese continues climbing the all-time double-doubles list as the season progresses, with her next opportunities to add to both totals coming in Indiana's upcoming games.
