Angel McCoughtry poured in 32 points as the Atlanta Dream knocked off the Los Angeles Sparks 86-81.
The Atlanta Dream captured a statement win Thursday night with an 86-81 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks. It was Atlanta’s second victory over L.A. this season and showed that while their overall record might not be impressive, no team should take them lightly in a playoff matchup.
“I think it was a well-played game by us,” head coach Michael Cooper said after the game. “After the Olympic Break I think we've done a lot of positive things on the defensive end and the offensive end and to come here to LA and beat a very, very, very good basketball team shows we're on the right track and we're heading the right way.
