Six steals, one Finals record: Rhyne Howard guards her way into WNBA history
On a night when her shots would not fall, Atlanta Dream guard Rhyne Howard won the game at the other end of the court. In Game 2 of the WNBA Finals on Monday night, Howard stole the ball six times in just 27 minutes — a Finals record for a single game, the league itself confirmed — as Atlanta beat the Golden State Valkyries 79-65 to tie the series at one game apiece. Howard finished with five points, two rebounds, two assists and a block, while teammate Angel Reese led the Dream with 30 points and 16 rebounds. The series now moves to Game 3 in Atlanta on October 21.
