Isabelle Harrison was ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul after dragging Angel Reese down in the third quarter of Atlanta’s 102-77 win over Toronto.
Toronto Tempo forward Isabelle Harrison was ejected Sunday after dragging Atlanta Dream forward Angel Reese to the floor during the Dream’s 102-77 win in Toronto.
The incident came in the third quarter with Atlanta ahead by 10. Reese and Harrison were fighting for position near the basket when Reese caught an entry pass in the paint and began her move toward the rim. Harrison pulled Reese down, drawing a Flagrant 2 foul and an automatic ejection.
Reese got up angry, and players from both teams stepped in to separate the two. Harrison was seen laughing as she headed back to the locker room after the call. Fox News reported that the two players had been battling and talking throughout the game.
The foul became the flashpoint in a lopsided Atlanta win, but Reese’s performance was already central to the game. She finished with 15 points and 17 rebounds, including a career-high 11 offensive boards. That total left her one offensive rebound short of matching the WNBA single-game record.
Reese entered the game averaging 14.6 points and 11.9 rebounds with nine double-doubles this season. Her work on the glass helped Atlanta control the matchup, while Allisha Gray led the Dream with 26 points and seven assists. Rhyne Howard added 24 points and six rebounds.
Harrison had 17 points and three rebounds before the ejection, still finishing as Toronto’s leading scorer. Julie Allemand added 13 points and six assists, and Maria Conde scored 12 off the bench.
The win moved Atlanta to 9-4 and fourth in the standings. Toronto fell to 7-7 and remained ninth, a half-game behind the Los Angeles Sparks for the final playoff spot.
