Summary
Atlanta enters the playoff stretch as a credible title contender after clinching a postseason berth, with defense emerging as the team's clearest edge.
Three Dream players lead the WNBA in steals per game — Rhyne Howard at 2.4, Jordin Canada at 1.9 and Angel Reese at 1.8 — fueling transition offense and disrupting elite opponents.
Atlanta also brings balanced scoring, with Allisha Gray at 19.3 points, Howard at 18.3 and Reese at 16.1, giving the team production on both ends.
Reese returns from the FIBA World Cup with a gold medal and stronger finishing form — 59.1% shooting — as Atlanta seeks a higher seed and a more favorable playoff matchup.
