COLLEGE PARK, Ga. — Rhyne Howard tied the WNBA record she already shared by making nine 3-pointers in a 37-point performance, helping the Atlanta Dream tie the league mark with 19 baskets from behind the arc in a 104-85 home win against the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday night.

Howard, a former Chattanooga-area prep standout at Bradley Central, had three attempts at the record she already shared with Kelsey Mitchell (2019), Jewell Loyd (2023) and Arike Ogunbowale (2024).

Howard is the first player to accomplish the feat twice, hitting the mark the first time while scoring 36 points in an 88-70 home win against the Chicago Sky on June 13. The former University of Kentucky standout was a WNBA All-Star for the third time this season, her fourth in the league after she was the No. 1 pick of the 2022 draft and that season’s rookie of the year.

Howard returned to Chattanooga earlier this summer as the featured speaker at the Times Free Press Best of Preps awards banquet.

Atlanta (28-14), which clinched home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs, tied the team record for a regular-season game on Jordin Canada’s shot with 1:44 to play. The New York Liberty hit 19 3-pointers twice this season, and the Las Vegas Aces had 23 in a playoff game in 2022.
