Atlanta Dream extend winning streak as WNBA standings tighten

The Atlanta Dream posted a fourth straight victory, beating the Toronto Tempo 94‑87 and moving into second place behind the Minnesota Lynx in the league standings. Guard Rhyne Howard highlighted the team’s balanced offense, noting that all five starters have been scoring in double figures, making the Dream “hard to lose.”

In a separate contest, the Minnesota Lynx rallied from a 12‑point deficit to defeat the Washington Mystics 78‑76, with Natasha Howard contributing 21 points and a season‑high 15 rebounds, while Olivia Miles added 21 points, including a clutch fourth‑quarter surge.

The Dream also faced the Golden State Valkyries at the Chase Center, with both teams previewed ahead of the matchup; the Valkyries were noted for leading the league in turnovers and three‑point makes, while the Dream led in steals and offensive rebounds.

The season’s ongoing storylines include Angel Reese’s trade from the Chicago Sky to the Dream, which has helped Atlanta become a playoff contender, and the upcoming 2026 WNBA Commissioner’s Cup final between the Las Vegas Aces and New York Liberty.
