UNCASVILLE,
Conn. -- Angel McCoughtry scored 33 points to help Atlanta beat
Connecticut 102-92 on Sunday, handing the Sun their fourth-straight
loss.
It was the eighth time McCoughtry has scored 30 or more
points against the Sun in her WNBA career, and it was Atlanta's first
win at Uncasville since June 23, 2013. The Dream, who had a season-high
for points, have beaten Connecticut twice in three games and meet for a
third time in four games Tuesday in Atlanta.
Atlanta is now 16-16
all-time against the Sun, but is just 4-13 at Connecticut and had lost
five straight road games in the series.
The Dream (10-15) got off
to a fast start, scoring 63 first-half points (63-47), the
second-highest total for one half in franchise history.
Shoni
Schimmel hit all four of her 3-point attempts in the first half and the
team shot 23 of 32 from the field to build a 20-point lead. Atlanta hit
10 of its 12 3's in the first half setting a new WNBA record for
percentage (.833) with a minimum of 10 attempts.
McCoughtry was 13
of 20 from the field and grabbed eight rebounds. Tiffany Hayes added 19
points and Damiris Dantas added 15. Atlanta was 11 of 14 from 3-point
range in the game and shot 60 percent from the field (40 of 67).
The Sun (12-14) trailed by just six, 86-80 midway through the fourth quarter, but got no closer.
Connecticut
was without all-star Alex Bentley, the team's second-leading scorer,
who injured an ankle seven minutes into the Sun's loss at Tulsa Friday.
Jennifer Lacy scored 25 points and Camille Little added 22 to lead the Sun.
