Dream inch closer to playoff spot with 91-87 win over Mercury

Angel McCoughtry finished with a game-high 27 points as the Atlanta Dream held off the Phoenix Mercury for a 91-87 win.

The Atlanta Dream needed a bounce back performance after Sunday’s disappointing loss to Seattle. They jumped on Phoenix early and withstood a late run in a 91-87 win at Philips Arena. With the win, the Dream nudge back above the .500 mark for the season and inch closer to securing a playoff spot with just five games remaining in the WNBA regular season.

Atlanta didn’t waste any time getting off to a good start and quickly put the memory of Sunday’s loss behind them.
