Atlanta Dream Edge Seattle Storm 83-81

The Atlanta Dream secured a thrilling 83-81 victory over the Seattle Storm, snapping an eight-game losing streak, thanks to Tina Charles' clutch jumper with just 1.1 seconds remaining. Rhyne Howard led the team with a season-high 30 points, while Allisha Gray added 19, helping the Dream overcome a 14-point deficit. The game was marked by a dramatic finish, where Jewell Loyd of the Storm hit a tying three-pointer with 4.6 seconds left before Charles sealed the win. Earlier, the Connecticut Sun suffered a setback against the Atlanta Dream, losing 82-70, with Tina Charles again playing a pivotal role, scoring 22 points and grabbing 15 rebounds. Despite a mid-season roster shake-up, the Sun struggled with sluggish starts and poor shooting performance, reminiscent of their previous loss to the Dream. Charles is now close to becoming the No. 2 scorer in WNBA history, needing only two points to achieve this milestone.
