To the Atlanta Dream's Credit they hung tough as they were behind at the break 40-39 and running on all cylinders. After halftime though things turned from good to downright ugly as the Dream get taken to the cleaners by the Chicago Sky 85-68 including a 30-11 3rd frame the Sky unleashed on the Dream.
The Sky gets 18 points, six rebounds, and four steals from Sylvia Fowles and 15 points and seven rebounds from Elena Delle Donne as they cruise in the 2nd half to their 2nd victory in a week over the defending WNBA CHampion Atlanta Dream. In the latest win streak the Sky have been getting excellent guard play from Epiphany Prince and Courtney Vandersloot as they did it again in a few categories on Saturday Night combining for 17 points, ten helpers, and five boards.
The Dream was led by Rookie Guard Alex Bentley's 19 points and five assists as Star Dream Guard Angel McCoughtry chips in with 17 points. The Sky still can't get things going from the Arc but in the paint they have made a living in the last few games. Fowles and Delle Donne have picked opponents apart especially on the glass.
The Dream is in 2nd place in the east behind the Sky but have a one games lead on the Mystics and a game and a half lead on the Fever. The Sky is tied with the L.A. Sparks at 21-8 with the WNBA's 2nd best record behind the Lynx with a 22-7 record. The Sky's next outing will be against the Indiana Fever on Friday September 6, 2013.
