No. 5 Atlanta is on the upswing, as the Dream curbed a five-game losing streak to take two of its last three games heading into tonight’s clash with No. 11 Toronto.
The Dream is leaning on third-year star Angel Reese. The double-double machine notched her 16th of the season in Monday’s 101-92 win over LA.
“Angel made big emotional plays that gave us the energy to close it out,” head coach Karl Smesko said.
Atlanta now faces a Tempo squad searching for its own consistency. The 2026 expansion side enters the weekend looking to turn around a bumpy 2-5 homestand.
Toronto struggled to galvanize around Sunday’s 93-91 win over No. 7 New York, falling to No. 8 Washington 79-62 on Tuesday to sit at a 10-14 record.
“They were just a handful for us,” Tempo coach Sandy Brondello said of the young Mystics. “We have to prepare to put up a little bit more resistance next game.”
Toronto hosts Atlanta tonight at 7:30 PM ET, live on ION.
