Rhyne Howard Leads Dream to Victory

The Atlanta Dream defeated the Seattle Storm 83-81 on Tuesday, August 18th, 2024, thanks to a 30-point performance from Rhyne Howard.

Howard's scoring outburst helped the Dream snap a three-game losing streak and improve to 8-17 on the season.

The Dream will now host the Connecticut Sun on Thursday, August 20th, at the Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia.

The Sun are coming off a 95-86 loss to the Dallas Wings on Sunday, August 16th, 2024.

Despite the loss, the Sun are still in first place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 19-6.

The Sun will be looking to bounce back against the Dream and extend their lead in the conference.

One of the key matchups to watch in Thursday's game will be the battle between Howard and Jonquel Jones.

Both players are also among the league leaders in rebounding, so this matchup is sure to be a physical one.

The Sun are the more experienced team and have a better overall record, but the Dream are playing with confidence after their win over the Storm.

This game is likely to be close, but the Sun should be able to pull out a victory.
