Associated Press
NEW
YORK -- Tina Charles had 25 points and seven rebounds to help the New
York Liberty beat the Atlanta Dream 78-67 on Friday night for their
sixth victory in seven games.
New York trailed by nine points
midway through the third quarter, but closed on a 15-3 run to take a
54-51 lead. The Dream only made one field goal in the last 6 minutes of
the quarter. Brittany Boyd's 3-pointer started New York's 9-2 spurt to
open the fourth for a 10-point lead.
Epiphanny Prince made three
3-pointers and finished with 18 points for New York (18-7). Kiah Stokes
scored six of her eight points in the final 3 minutes.
Tiffany
Hayes led Atlanta (9-16) with 17 points and Angel McCoughtry had 13.
DeLisha Milton-Jones was signed by the Dream before the game and is two
appearances short of tying Tina Thompson for the WNBA career record.
Charles received her FIBA World Championship ring before the game.
