WNBA Fast Break Classic | Run 2 | Day 5
Today’s Objective(s): 25 Rebounds & 15 Assists
Recap & Overview:
Chicago Secures Second Win, Reese Makes History
If Chicago could play Dallas every day, they probably would—as they notched their second victory of the season, both coming against the Wings. Despite Dallas missing Paige Bueckers, the game was competitive early, with only three points separating the teams at halftime.
However, the Sky found their rhythm in the second half, creating separation by the end of the third quarter and maintaining a seven-point lead or more throughout the fourth.
Adding to the historic night, Angel Reese became the fastest WNBA player to reach 500 points and 500 rebounds, finishing with 14 points and 9 boards—a milestone that further cements her early success in the league (and as a Fast Break stat stuffer).
Fast Break Recap: An Easy Win for Most Collectors
Fast Break Day 4 had a high success rate, with 96% of participants walking away victorious, thanks to relatively low thresholds (30 points & 2 blocks). Ariel Atkins led all scorers with 26 points, while Carrington chipped in 16 points and a block, and Ogunbowale added 15 points. Teaira McCowan, on the other hand, had the toughest outing, finishing with just 3 points and 1 block, making her the weakest performer among the five most utilized players and your Fast Break Dud of the Day.

Tome Collective’s WNBA Fast Break Line-Up (Commons Only Challenge):
Many Fast Break participants do not have an extensive collection of rare or legendary moments, so they are limited to single use commons. Even with a limited lineup, participants have found a way to reach the maximum rewards. Follow along as the Tome Collective account participates in Fast Break without using any player more than once - in both our success and failures.
That’s win #3 in this series, which means we only need two more wins to reach the desired win-based reward.
