Connecticut Sun End Atlanta Dream Four-Game Winning Streak 84-76

News summary

The Connecticut Sun defeated the Atlanta Dream 84-76, ending Atlanta's four-game winning streak. Marina Mabrey led the Sun with a season-high 34 points, while Tina Charles contributed 19 points, including seven crucial points in the final six minutes. The Dream struggled defensively, particularly in pick-and-roll situations where Mabrey and Charles exploited mismatches, scoring 24 points from those possessions. Atlanta's Rhyne Howard and Brittney Griner both scored 18 points, but the team only made one field goal in the first five minutes of the fourth quarter, which hindered their comeback efforts. Despite the loss, Dream coach Karl Smesko acknowledged his team's fight and emphasized the need for improvement in ball movement and defense, especially with the return of Jordin Canada. The Sun, previously 1-6, showed resilience and improved defense to secure their first home win of the season.
