Phoenix MercuryvsAtlanta Dream
PHX 80/ATL 82
Things to say
Atlanta Dream beat the Phoenix Mercury 82-80 at Gateway Center.
01
Dream got the W, 82-80. Came down to the wire in Atlanta. Phoenix had a shot but couldn't get the dagger to fall.
02
key player
Rhyne Howard dropped 21 and looked like the best player on the floor. She was getting buckets all night.
03
hot take
Phoenix is 2-5 and I don't care what anyone says, that roster is not a playoff team.
04
deep cut
Jordin Canada had 14 dimes. Fourteen. She was running an absolute clinic out there.
05
exit
Alyssa Thomas had a 20-12-7 line in a loss though, what a stat-sheet stuffer. Anyway, who you got next week?
The recap
Dream squeaked by Phoenix 82-80 in a real nail-biter at Gateway Center. Rhyne Howard led the way with 21 buckets and Jordin Canada was dishing all night, 14 dimes is no joke.
Angel Reese cleaned the glass for a double-digit board night. Alyssa Thomas put up a near triple-double for Phoenix with 20, 12, and 7, but they still took the L and dropped to 2-5.
