Dream Still Fighting For Playoff Spot

Atlanta defense struggled on Tuesday night against the Las Vegas Aces giving up 97 points resulting in a seven-point defeat and gaining their second straight loss.

โ€œNot the outcome we wanted but we had a lot of positives tonight. Thereโ€™s a lot that I could say about the girls and their effort. We just gotta have short-term memory and get back to Atlanta and focus on our New York series right now. Really proud of the girlsโ€™ effort, how hard they played and the good things that we did do.โ€ย said head coach Tanisha Wright.

It ainโ€™t over: Atlanta has two games left and the odds of making it pass the regular season is high. Atlanta is currently number 5 in the Eastern Conference. The Liberty and Dream are among the four teams competing for the final two postseason spots.

 

Up next: The Atlanta Dream (14-20) will play the final regular season home game when the team face the New York Liberty (14-20) this Friday, August 12 at 7:30 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network and Bally Sports South.
