Toronto TempovsAtlanta Dream
TOR 87/ATL 94
Things to say
Atlanta Dream beat the Toronto Tempo 94-87 at home.
01
opener
Dream took care of business at home, 94-87. Toronto hung around but Atlanta pulled away late. That's their fourth straight at State Farm.
02
key player
Rhyne Howard had it going, dropped 20 and just looked smooth all night. She's quietly carrying that offense.
03
hot take
Honestly Mabrey's 23 was the best bucket-getting on the floor and she still took the L. Toronto's gotta find her some help.
04
deep cut
Jordin Canada with 13 dimes, that's the real story. Atlanta wins when she's running the show like that.
05
exit
Dream are 12-4, they're for real this year. Curious what they do against the top of the East next.
The recap
Atlanta took care of business at home, riding Rhyne Howard's 20 and an absolute clinic from Jordin Canada, who dished 13 dimes to keep everybody fed. Angel Reese did the dirty work with nine boards and the Dream just controlled the game.
Marina Mabrey kept Toronto breathing with a team-high 23 buckets, but she didn't get enough help and the Tempo took the L. Atlanta moves to 12-4 and looks like a problem.
