Result:
WIN

Connecticut is flying high after upsetting might Minnesota Friday. Now they head out on the road to face a balanced Atlanta team that is second in the league in rebounding behind Angel McCoughtry and Elizabeth Williams. Atlanta has a strong record at home (8-4) and is the fifth seed in the East. The top four finishers gain first-round playoff byes, and because the initial two rounds of the postseason are single-elimination, the last thing the Dream wants to do is get into a winner-take-all situation. Atlanta gets Sancho Lyttle back from a foot injury. At the time of her injury, Lyttle led the league in steals at 2.2 per game and was fifth in rebounds at 8.5 per game. Atlanta crushed the Sun on the glass when they met last month at Connecticut, 41-24, and won the game 67-63 despite shooting just 35.4%. Atlanta has won four straight at home, and the Dream are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 Sunday get-away games. Play Atlanta.
