Last August, Reese went on a three-game run in which she posted numbers 20, 20, and 22 in the rebounding category.

Before her record-setting performance on Sunday, the former WNBA All-Star had been on a tear as she grabbed 19 rebounds against the Atlanta Dream on June 22, 17 rebounds in a win over the Sparks on June 24, and 18 rebounds in a matchup with the Golden State Valkyries on June 27.

Other records held by Reese include the best rebounding season in league history (total of 446 rebounds, average of 13.1 rpg), most offensive boards in a single season (172), and most rebounds by a rookie in a single game (22). Reese is also the first WNBA player to tally 20 or more boards in consecutive games.
