Big Atlanta Dream News Revealed Before Potential Indiana Fever Playoff Matchup

The Atlanta Dream just can't stop making history. Earlier this week Atlanta defeated the Connecticut Sun 87-62, giving the Dream's Karl Smesko a WNBA-record 29 wins for the most by a first-year coach.

"It's nice that we're winning and that we're in a good position for the playoffs," Smesko said following Monday's victory. "Those types of [records] don't have a lot of meaning for me. The meaningful part is coming up: Are we going to be the best prepared for the playoffs?"

Just two days later he added to that total as the Dream dispatched the Connecticut Sun in an 88-72 victory, adding to Smesko's case as the potential Coach of the Year. The latest victory gave the coach a two-game lead over the the previous 28-win record set by former Los Angeles Sparks head coach Michael Cooper in 2000.

It also created more history for the Dream, giving the team its 30th victory - the most in franchise history in the regular season.

"Tonight marks our 30th win of the 2025 season. It's a new franchise record for the most regular-season wins in Atlanta Dream history!" the team said in a statement while revealing the news.
