The Atlanta Dream are officially headed to the WNBA playoffs β€” and this team is playing some serious basketball at exactly the right time.
After a decisive 99–89 road victory over the Phoenix Mercury, Atlanta improved to 24–13, won five of its last six games, and continued its impressive late-season surge.

In this episode of Perimeter Sessions, Queen Chillmode breaks down what's behind the Dream's transformation β€” from their defensive intensity and transition game to their improved ball movement and offensive explosion.

And we HAVE to talk about Angel Reese. πŸ”₯
Reese exploded for a career-high 31 points and 14 rebounds in Atlanta's playoff-clinching victory over Phoenix. Just before that, she made WNBA history against the Los Angeles Sparks by going 9-for-9 from the field while producing a 20-point double-double.
Meanwhile, Rhyne Howard continues to provide explosive perimeter scoring, Allisha Gray brings another dynamic presence to the backcourt, and Atlanta's defense is creating turnovers that fuel their transition attack.

The Dream even dropped a franchise-record 124 points against Los Angeles.

So the question is…
πŸ€ ARE THE ATLANTA DREAM LEGITIMATE CONTENDERS?
Or are we getting a little too excited about this late-season run?
