The Atlanta Dream moved within one victory of the semifinals by beating the Washington Mystics 92–77 in Game 1. Wednesday’s return matchup presents a different challenge, with Washington defending its home floor to keep its season alive.
Atlanta’s opener was less comfortable than the final margin suggests. The Dream had to recover from an early deficit before taking command, giving both teams clear lessons to carry into Game 2.
Atlanta Dream vs. Washington Mystics Recent Results
Atlanta Dream
Rhyne Howard scored 26 points, Allisha Gray added 22 and Angel Reese supplied 13 points with 12 rebounds in Sunday’s win. Jordin Canada contributed 10 points and 11 assists, giving Atlanta production across its primary lineup. The Dream’s defensive activity helped turn the game, while DeWanna Bonner provided an important contribution off the bench. Atlanta showed it could recover from a poor start without abandoning its approach.
Washington Mystics
Washington built an 11-point lead but could not maintain its offensive control once Atlanta increased the pressure. The Mystics later reduced the deficit to seven in the fourth quarter before the Dream pulled away again. That sequence offers both encouragement and a warning: Washington created competitive stretches, but its execution deteriorated at the moments when Atlanta accelerated the game. More secure possessions are essential in the return matchup.

Atlanta Dream vs. Washington Mystics Prediction
Washington’s two home victories prevent this from being a straightforward assumption that Sunday’s result will repeat. The Mystics have already demonstrated an ability to keep Atlanta in a lower-scoring game and finish possessions well enough to win.
The Dream nevertheless have a strong path to another victory through their perimeter pressure. Howard’s activity can disrupt the first pass, while Canada can challenge the ball and make Washington spend more time initiating its offense. The objective is to leave the Mystics with fewer comfortable decisions late in the shot clock.
Reese’s work around the basket is another important part of the pick. Atlanta does not need every initial attempt to fall if it can extend possessions and force Washington to defend repeatedly. Those extra opportunities also help prevent a brief shooting slump from becoming a prolonged scoring drought.
Gray gives the Dream another scorer to turn to when Washington directs additional attention toward Howard. That balance should make Atlanta difficult to contain throughout an entire closeout game, particularly if it begins with greater composure than it showed Sunday.

The expectation is for Washington to protect the ball more carefully and remain competitive longer. Atlanta still has enough defensive pressure, rebounding and scoring variety to separate late. Lay the four points with the Dream to complete the sweep, with a four-point victory resulting in a push.
