Angel McCoughtry's late heroics lift Dream over Mystics

Five of Angel McCoughtry's team-high 21 points came in the final 27.9 seconds as the Atlanta Dream came from behind to defeat the Washington Mystics.

A furious fourth quarter comeback combined with some late heroics by Angel McCoughtry helped the Atlanta Dream sneak past the Washington Mystics 64-61 for their second win of the season.

Atlanta trailed 49-38 entering the fourth in what was another slog of an offensive performance. However, the Dream finally found something resembling an offensive rhythm as their defense forced turnovers and shots finally started to fall. Shoni Schimmel knocked down a pair of three-pointers to help ignite a 17-6 run.
