Compulsory Credit: Jordan Godfree-Imgon Images Before starting Atlanta’s dream six-game, the 17-day road trip, the team will welcome the Golden State Volcaries at the College Park, Ga on Monday, for the first meeting between the two franchises.
Atlanta (11–7) dropped three of its last four, including a shock of 80–79 against the Seattle Storm on Thursday, including Skyler Digins that saved the game winning the game with 3.4 seconds. With less than a minute before Seattle, Dreams ralled to win.
The second -year head coach Carl Sysco’s team will return to the second major scorer Rhine Howard (16.8 points) for Monday’s game. Howard, who was named an all-star reserve on Sunday, missed the Seattle game with an upper body injury, but returned to practice on Sunday.
With an important scorer bypassing, Smesko is trying to take a positive look at things, even disappointing as the final result of the dream.
“There is a lot of disappointment that we did not stop that game,” Smaceco said. “But for us to live in this position, it shows us the quality of the team. We just have to end these games. I think we have a great team making. Now we have only more than half a season where we need to get, and it includes me.”
Atlanta left New York Liberty behind a game with the leaderboard of the Eastern Conference, but would have to build ground away from home, as Sapna will not return to Georgia by 29 July, when they face Golden State again. Elisha takes Gray Atlanta with 19.1 points per game, while Briya adds 14 points to Jones and 8.1 rebounds per competition.
The Golden State (9-8) had won its two-game winning streak against Minnesota Links 82-71 road damage-the first four out of four on the road. In the first season for the Extension Club, Golden State enjoyed 7-3 records at home, but five to five out of seven have gone away from the Chess Center-one issue will be seen on Monday to resolve the team of coach coach coach Natalie Nakez.
“We need to try and use the enmity that is going against us,” said Nakez. “You either block it or you pretend to be happy for us. I think how our players see it. I think they have done a big job to focus.”
Kayla Thornton led the Golden State with 14.9 PPG, followed by Tiffany Hayes 14. Hayes formed a team with 23 points for loss in Minnesota.
