What happened: Reese became the first WNBA player to record 15 points, five rebounds and five assists on 100% shooting in a first half. She was selected as Player of the Game.

Why it matters: The first-half line establishes a new league benchmark. It adds another milestone to a season in which Reese owns the WNBA single-season offensive-rebound record.

By the numbers: Reese scored 15 of her 20 points before halftime, accounting for 75% of her total, and made all nine of her field-goal attempts.

What to watch: Her next game will test whether the shooting efficiency carries over.
