Dallas WingsvsAtlanta Dream
DAL 69/ATL 86
Things to say
Atlanta Dream beat the Dallas Wings 86-69 at Gateway Center.
01
Atlanta ate Dallas up, 86 to 69. Wings just couldn't buy a bucket. Dream pulled away and never looked back.
02
key player
Rhyne Howard put on an absolute clinic — 25 and 8 dimes. She had ice in her veins all night.
03
hot take
Dallas is 3-3 but they look soft. Bueckers can't carry that roster by herself.
04
deep cut
Angel Reese grabbed 9 boards but barely showed up on the scoreboard. Atlanta didn't even need her buckets to win this one.
05
exit
Anyway, Dream are 3-1 now — gonna be tough to stop if Howard keeps splashing like that.
The recap
Atlanta took Dallas behind the woodshed, 86-69. Rhyne Howard ran an absolute clinic with 25 and 8, basically a one-woman wrecking crew while Angel Reese cleaned the glass for 9 boards.
Dallas just couldn't buy a bucket — Awak Kuier's 16 was the only thing keeping it from getting uglier, and Paige Bueckers' 7 dimes had nobody finishing on the other end. Wings took the L and drop to .500.
