Atlanta Chalks Up 3rd Win Over the Indiana Fever, 81-77

Atlanta has been showing some great ball play the last several games winning 3 of their last 4 games.

Iziane Castro Marques led the Dream to their 3rd win of the season over the Indiana Fever Wednesday night, with 24 points.

“We pretty much played 40 minutes of great basketball, and it was a great team effort,” Castro Marques said. “We never thought we were going to lose this game.”

Atlanta lead the Fever by 10 points in the 3rd but the Fever came back to within 2, 63-61 with just over 5 minutes left in the 4th.

Back-to-back 3s from Betty Lennox put the Dream back in the lead, 73-71 with minutes left. Lennox also hit 2 free throws with just seconds on the clock to seal the win, 81-77.

“Being 0-17 is nothing to be happy about, but the thing I like most is that we persevered through it,” Lennox said. “Nobody even expected us to win one game and now we got three.”
