Atlanta Dream Chase 4th Straight Win at Home
23 Jun
Summary
- Atlanta Dream seek fourth consecutive win at home.
- Angel Reese achieved a league record for rebounds.
- Marina Mabrey tied a league record with nine three-pointers.
The Atlanta Dream are riding a three-game winning streak and will look to extend it to four when they host the Toronto Tempo on Monday night. Atlanta currently sits third in the league standings with an 11-4 record.
The expansion Tempo, holding an 8-8 record, are aiming to get back above the .500 mark after a recent win against Connecticut. Their star player, Marina Mabrey, tied a WNBA record by sinking nine three-pointers in that victory. Mabrey is averaging 19.1 points per game.
For the Dream, Angel Reese has been a pivotal player. She recently became the fastest player in league history to achieve 1,000 rebounds, adding to her impressive averages of 11.9 rebounds and 15.3 points per game. Reese's ability to secure both offensive and defensive rebounds is crucial for her team's success.
The Tempo's offense faces a challenge with Brittney Sykes sidelined due to a non-contact injury. Sykes was a primary offensive threat, averaging 20.1 points per game. This marks the second meeting between Toronto and Atlanta in nine days, with the Dream having won the previous encounter decisively.
