What happened: Reese put ATL on the board first with a shot from behind the arc in the CHI matchup. She also scored Atlanta's first bucket Thursday, opening that 103-59 win on an offensive rebound.
Why it matters: The quick make extends a strong stretch for Reese as the postseason calendar moves along. It also adds early perimeter scoring to a run that has already been fueled by heavy production around the rim and on the glass.
By the numbers: Reese posted 30 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in Atlanta's 103-59 win on Sept. 18. Wire Report noted earlier Saturday that a 15-rebound game would make her the first player to reach 500 rebounds in a season.
What to watch: Next up is whether Reese can turn the early three into another high-volume scoring night. Her rebound chase remains a parallel storyline as the game continues.
