Angel Reese delivered another double-double as Atlanta won 98-89, extending its winning streak to five and improving its record to 18-10. Reese finished with 21 points, 13 rebounds and two steals, sustaining the production that has powered Atlanta's back-to-back victories.

What happened

Angel Reese led the latest victory with an impact at both ends, pairing her 21 points and 13 rebounds with two steals. Her performance helped Atlanta secure another win and continue its climb during a pivotal stretch of the season.

The double-double came two days after Reese posted 22 points and 12 rebounds in a one-point victory. Atlanta followed that narrow result with a nine-point win, maintaining its momentum while extending the streak to five games.

Why it matters

Back-to-back wins have moved Atlanta from 16-10 to 18-10. That surge has raised the team's winning percentage to .643 and strengthened its position in the WNBA playoff race.

The consecutive victories also underline Atlanta's ability to win games with different margins. After prevailing by one point two days earlier, Atlanta returned with a 98-89 result while again receiving a double-double from Reese.

By the numbers

Reese has totaled 43 points, 25 rebounds and six steals across Atlanta's past two victories. She recorded a double-double in each game, providing consistent scoring and rebounding throughout the team's latest push.

Her production was closely balanced across the two wins. Reese followed a 22-point, 12-rebound performance with 21 points and 13 rebounds, reaching at least 20 points and 12 rebounds in both outings.

Atlanta's record has improved by two wins without another loss over that span. At 18-10, the team has now won five straight and owns a .643 winning percentage.

What to watch next

Atlanta will next attempt to extend its winning streak to six. Reese enters that opportunity after consecutive double-doubles and a two-game stretch featuring 43 points, 25 rebounds and six steals.

Another victory would continue the momentum that has lifted Atlanta from 16-10 to 18-10. The immediate focus is whether the team can sustain its winning run as the WNBA playoff race continues.
