Dallas Wings vs. Atlanta Dream preview
The Dallas Wings got off to a decent start and have shown signs of getting better. Much depends again on Arike Ogunbowale, who has proved to be the difference maker. Their defense though needs to shore up if they intend to get past Atlanta.
The Dream will hope that Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray find some much-needed support from the rest of the unit. The guard and the forward have been their key offensive weapons and Atlanta will look for the two to get them off to a solid start again.
