Atlanta DreamvsLos Angeles Sparks
ATL 124/LA 88
Things to say
The Atlanta Dream blew out the Los Angeles Sparks 124-88 on the road at crypto.com Arena.
01
opener
Man, that wasn't even close. Atlanta went into LA and dropped 124 on them. The Sparks took the L by 36 and it felt worse than that.
02
key player
Rhyne Howard was cooking — 26 points and she was getting buckets whenever she wanted. Just an absolute clinic.
03
hot take
LA is done. You're 12-24 and getting run off your own floor by that much? Season's over, they're just playing out the string.
04
deep cut
Jordin Canada quietly ran the whole thing — 11 dimes, no ego. And Angel Reese still grabbed her 10 boards like clockwork.
05
exit
Atlanta's rolling at 23-13, playoffs locked. Curious to see what they do next time out.
The recap
Atlanta went into Crypto.com Arena and absolutely ate the Sparks up, 124-88, in a game that was over before halftime. Rhyne Howard led the way with 26, Jordin Canada ran the show with 11 dimes, and Angel Reese cleaned up the glass with a double-double's worth of boards.
LA never got it going, with Cameron Brink's 14 the best they could muster on a night nobody could buy a bucket. Just a clinic from the Dream, who look like a legit problem at 23-13.
