The Atlanta Dream enter another home contest brimming with confidence after a commanding 77-58 victory over the Indiana Fever. Alicia Gray led the charge with 23 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Brianna Jones delivered a double-double performance with 21 points and 10 boards. The team has shown remarkable improvement in recent weeks, winning five of their last six games, with their only stumble coming on the road in a hard-fought battle against the Connecticut Sun.

Atlanta's offensive firepower is also worth highlighting—they currently rank third in the league in scoring, averaging 83.8 points per game.
