Atlanta Dream chase the WNBA's top seed as they host the Seattle Storm, who are fighting to stay alive in the playoff race.

Brittney Griner Has Strong Words About Atlanta Dream on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Atlanta Dream are the hottest team in the WNBA right now, having won six straight games and eight of their last 10. They even took down the league-best Minnesota Lynx, as they climbed to the No. 2 seed in the standings.

Howard’s scoring surge late in the third quarter helped Atlanta pull away. With 30 seconds left in the period, she hit three consecutive 3-pointers — the last coming with 3.9 seconds left — and then stole the inbounds pass to drain another 3 from the same spot, pushing the Dream’s lead to 68-54.

Seattle topped Atlanta 80-78 in Vancouver, snapping a skid in the first WNBA regular-season game outside the U.S.

SEATTLE — Rhyne Howard scored 25 points, Allisha Gray had 22 points and 11 rebounds for her second double-double this season, and the Atlanta Dream won their sixth straight, 85-75 over the Seattle Storm on Wednesday night.
