Dream COLLAPSE in Q2 & Fall to Valkyries | What Went Wrong in Golden State? [rBjFgzfLUYC]
Four wins in a row. Gone. The Atlanta Dream flew into Golden State and ran into a shooting clinic — and a nightmarish second quarter that scored just 9 points made sure there was no coming back. The Valkyries won 77–66 and snapped Atlanta's streak in emphatic fashion. The story was that second quarter. Atlanta managed just 9 points in the entire second period while Golden State outscored them 22–9 to build a lead the Dream could never erase. Gabby Williams was the chief tormentor — 23 points on 56% shooting with 3 threes — and Kayla Thornton knocked down 5 threes to keep the foot on Atlanta's throat. Golden State connected on 15 threes at nearly 47% — the same recipe that burned the Dream when New York came to town. The only Dream player who showed up consistently? Madina Okot off the bench — 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting and a 84.7% true shooting mark. Angel Reese battled hard for 12 rebounds — 7 offensive — but shot 25% from the field. Canada went 2-of-10. Gray went 3-of-10. Howard was the only starter to reach double figures. The bench was cooking in the fourth quarter but it wasn't enough to pull off the comeback. Atlanta falls to 12–5 but gets an immediate chance at redemption — Friday night, same building, same opponent. Bounce-back energy incoming. 👍 Like the video, 🔔 subscribe for every Dream breakdown, and drop a comment! #CourtsideWithAsh #AtlantaDream #WNBA #WNBAHighlights #MadinaOkot #AngelReese #RhyneHoward #GoldenStateValkyries #DreamSZN #WNBATwitter #AtlantaDreamHighlights #WNBABasketball #AllishaGray #JordinCanada
