What happened: Atlanta Dream guard Rhyne Howard became the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 400 career three-pointers on Thursday. Howard hit the mark during the first quarter of a Commissioner's Cup matchup against the New York Liberty, surpassing the previous record held by Diana Taurasi.

Why it matters: The achievement cements Howard’s status as a premier perimeter threat for the Atlanta Dream early in the 2026 season. Her scoring efficiency is vital as Atlanta (9-4) competes for the top seed in the Eastern Conference against a high-powered New York squad.

By the numbers: Howard entered the game with 394 career makes and reached 400 in the opening period. New York currently holds an 11-8 lead over Atlanta with play ongoing in the first quarter.

What to watch: The game continues in Atlanta with both teams jockeying for position in the Commissioner’s Cup standings.
