The Atlanta Dream have had an uneven season so far, a grueling road schedule and cohesiveness issues have continued to take their toll on the young players. But Friday, June 22 in front of thousands of fans at McCamish Pavilion, the Dream came up big in a come-from-behind 75-70 victory over the Connecticut Sun.
The Dream surged in the third and fourth quarters, where they went on a 24-0 run. Much of it was carried by Angel McCoughtry’s game-high 25 points. Brittney Sykes scored 13 points, Damiris Dantas chipped in 11, and Elizabeth Williams came up big with 10 rebounds and three blocks.
