Rhyne Howard Ties WNBA Three-Pointers Record<\/h2>\n\nAtlanta Dream guard Rhyne Howard tied the WNBA record for three-pointers in a single game with nine successful shots from the three-point line. Howard becomes the first player in league history to achieve this feat more than once.\n\nHoward finished the game with 37 points, leading the Dream to a victory over the Los Angeles Sparks with a score of 104-85. This win secured Atlanta home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.\n\nHoward’s outstanding performance included 13 of 26 field goals, with an impressive 9 of 17 from the three-point line. Previously, on June 13th, Howard also scored nine three-pointers in a victory against the Chicago Sky, demonstrating his consistency and skill in the game.\n\n\n

I think this forces people to include me in the conversation about the best shooters. Because you can’t leave that out. Nobody had done it until I came along.<\/p>Rhyne Howard<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nIn total, there have been six games, including playoffs and Commissioner’s Cup finals, in which a WNBA player has achieved nine three-pointers.\n\nHoward, who was the first draft pick and Rookie of the Year in 2022, also highlighted the positive influence of the Dream’s first-year coach, Karl Smesko. Smesko’s offensive system, which was successful for many years at Florida Gulf Coast, has proven effective in his first season in the WNBA.\n\nThe Dream made a total of 19 three-pointers on Friday, tying the regular season record of the New York Liberty. The Las Vegas Aces set a playoff game record in 2022, with 23 three-pointers.\n\nHoward, who has accumulated 97 three-pointers despite missing 11 games due to an injury this season, returned on August 10 after a knee injury.\n\n\n

It was a remarkable game by Rhy. You can tell she feels very comfortable with her release and is aggressive, looking for good shots. When she really gets into a rhythm, she can have incredible streaks like today’s.<\/p>Karl Smesko<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nDream’s All-Star guard, Allisha Gray, who has 93 three-pointers this season, has missed the last two games due to a knee injury. Despite this, Atlanta has maintained its good performance, winning six of its last seven games.\n\nThe Dream (28-14) are competing for second place, behind the Minnesota Lynx, who have already secured first place. Las Vegas and Phoenix are both with a record of 27-14.\n\nAtlanta will play its first home playoff game since September 4, 2018. The WNBA has adopted a 1-1-1 format for the first round of playoffs this season, which guarantees that each team will have at least one home game.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
