But Atlanta gets another chance today in Las Vegas.
It wasn’t for lack of trying or a solid chance at the end. But an ‘L’ is an ‘L’ no matter the road traveled. That’s the takeaway from the Dream’s Friday night game against the high-flying Seattle Storm (now 13-4).
Courtney Williams’s last-second shot hit the rim, was tipped, and finally found the hands of Storm guard, Sue Bird. And Seattle walked away with a hard-fought 91-88 win, spoiling the start of Atlanta’s West Coast swing.
Next, the Dream will spend the Fourth of July in Sin City hosted by the Las Vegas Aces with Bill Laimbeer and 2021 Olympians A’ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, and Liz Cambage. The Aces, just like the Storm, are 13-4.
It’s a tall order, but splitting games against two WNBA’s elite teams would be a confidence booster for the 6-10 Atlantans. Tip time is 6p Eastern today at Michelob Ultra Arena.
