On Tuesday, they notched a sizable win by defeating Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever by a final score of 91-90. They got off to a strong start and led 31-23 at the end of the first quarter, and they held off two rallies by Indiana to escape with a win and improve their season record to 1-1.

The Fever actually took the lead with 21 seconds left on an Aliyah Boston free throw (90-89), but Rhyne Howard hit two free throws with nine seconds left to give the Dream a 91-90 win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Dream public relations revealed the historic news with a post on social media. "With her 6th rebound of the night, Brittney Griner climbs into the top 20 in WNBA history for total rebounds. BG passes Tangela Smith (2,335) to take sole possession of 20th all-time," Atlanta Dream PR wrote on X.
