Atlanta trolled the team it beat, the Indiana Fever, with a post on X after the matchup. The Dream edged the Fever, 91-90.

"Fever caught a little cold ... DREAM WIN!!" The post read with three fire emojis.

The post also reminded fans that it won't be long until fans get a rematch between the two clubs. The Dream will host the Fever on Thursday night at State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta.

It will be the team's home opener.

With her eight rebounds, Griner moved into 20th place on the WNBA's all-time rebounding list.

The Fever had possession in the final 10 seconds of the fourth quarter, but a defensive stop from the Dream preserved Atlanta's one-point lead.

Atlanta improved to 1-1 during the 2025 regular season with the victory. The Dream lost 94-90 to the Washington Mystics in their season opener Friday night.

The Fever are also 1-1. Indiana defeated the Chicago Sky, 93-58, in their season opener Saturday.
