For the first time in the 2022 WNBA season, Aari McDonald and the Atlanta Dream came to Phoenix. McDonald and her team faced off against Sam Thomas’ Phoenix Mercury for the second time this year, but it was the first opportunity for the Arizona fans to be in attendance to watch the two former Wildcats on the court.
The two teams are going in opposite directions right now. Phoenix started out slow this season but is now a winner of three straight. Atlanta did things just the opposite. After a strong start to the season, the Dream have dropped the last two and are losers of three of the last four.
