The Atlanta Dream defeated the Seattle Storm 94-87 on Friday night as they extended their win streak to four games. The Dream started the game off slow and couldn't find a rhythm on either side of the ball. The Storm capitalized, and they were able to dominate in the paint, while the Dream had a hard time getting anything going on the perimeter.
The Dream were down 17 points at the beginning of the third quarter, but after that, things started to turn around for them. They had a big second half and ended up taking the lead early in the fourth quarter. They didn't surrender the lead down the stretch, and they closed out the Storm to get the win.
The big reason for the Dream's duo of Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, who combined for 61 points in the win. Howard finished the game with 33 points, six rebounds, and five assists, while Gray finished with a career-high 28 points.

Howard had her best game of the season after some early struggles, and it looks like she's starting to find a rhythm in head coach Karl Smesko's system. For Gray, she's been playing at a high level for the Dream in the past few games, which has helped them during this four-game winning streak.
After a 1-2 start to the season, the Dream seem to be figuring things out, and with a week off until their next game, they could use this time to rest and correct the mistakes that they've made to start the season.
