Angel Reese impressed in her Unrivaled Basketball League debut, while the Connecticut Sun set attendance records at TD Garden.

Angel Reese made a significant impact in her debut for the Rose Basketball Club in the newly launched Unrivaled Basketball League, a 3-on-3 women`s basketball league co-founded by WNBA stars Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier. Despite the team`s narrow 79-73 loss to Vinyl Basketball Club, Reese showcased her skills with a double-double, scoring 10 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, and dishing out four assists. Her shooting performance included 3-7 from the field and a perfect 2-2 from the free-throw line.

Rhyne Howard of Vinyl Basketball Club delivered an outstanding performance, leading all scorers with 33 points, including six three-pointers. Howard also contributed six rebounds, two blocks, and one steal, solidifying her team`s victory.

In other notable WNBA news, the Connecticut Sun achieved a historic milestone by selling out TD Garden in Boston for their game against the Los Angeles Sparks. The attendance of 19,156 marked the largest in Connecticut Sun history and the third-highest in WNBA attendance this season. The Sun triumphed over the Sparks with a final score of 69-61, highlighted by DiJonai Carrington`s leadership during a crucial 14-0 run in the fourth quarter. This game was particularly significant as it was the first WNBA matchup held at TD Garden, home of the Boston Celtics.

The Unrivaled Basketball League aims to elevate women`s basketball by featuring 36 of the top players in the WNBA. The league`s unique format includes a court that is 20 feet shorter than the standard WNBA court, with games played in three seven-minute quarters and a fourth quarter played to a "winning score" determined by adding 11 points to the leading team`s score after three quarters.

Angel Reese and Connecticut Sun are making headlines in women`s basketball.
