Atlanta Dream dominated the Las Vegas Aces 97-82 in a statement win, with four starters scoring double digits led by Rhyne Howard’s 23. Angel Reese and Allisha Gray each poured in 21, while Jordin Canada added 17 and 5 assists. Atlanta exploded in the second quarter, outscoring Vegas 28-16 on 64% shooting to build a 52-41 halftime lead. The Aces played without head coach Becky Hammon, ejected after two techs.
