The Atlanta Dream always having an answer for the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday night was epitomized when Jordin Canada made AD Durr FALL OVER with a fake-out dribble only to be blocked by Haley Jones at the rim, leading to an Allisha Gray transition layup on the other end that made it 79-58 Atlanta with 7:38 to go.
It was part of an 8-0 Gray run that opened the fourth. She had converted on a 3-point play at 9:14 and made a right-wing three at 8:50. After the Sparks cut it 12 at 5:38, she answered with a pull-up mid-range make that pushed it back to 14. With 3:32 to go, she picked up her sixth assist on a Danielle Robinson layup that made it a 13-point Dream lead. Atlanta held on for the 90-79 victory at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. It moved up to .500 (8-8) and into fifth place in the WNBA.
Gray finished with a game-high 23 points to go along with four rebounds and six assists. She was 8-of-14 from the field and 2-of-4 from beyond the arc.
The Dream were following up their 112-84 win over the Sparks on Sunday in Atlanta. The 112 points marked a franchise record for a single game and Rhyne Howard scored a career-high 43 points in that victory.
Wednesday night’s win was just as dominant at times even though it was in LA.
Of course, keep in mind that the Sparks…
