Mandatory Credit: Trevor Ruszkowski-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p>Atlanta Dream will rue their missed opportunities against Indiana Fever<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Atlanta Dream dropped their opening Commissioner\u2019s Cup game against the Indiana Fever, as they missed a lot of field goal attempts in the paint tonight, converting only 24 of their 41 attempts in the shaded area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think we got some good shots, but when they\u2019re not falling, you have to get back for a team like Indiana. Their transition (offense) really started to go. Then when you\u2019re not getting stops, it\u2019s harder for us to get in transition. I think that swing of like their possessions being a little bit easier, being able to just leak out, get open shots in transition,\u201d Dream forward Naz Hillmon told reporters postgame.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for Angel Reese, while she hit an incredible milestone tonight, she is now 1-5 in her career matchups against Caitlin Clark. Look for her and the Dream to bounce back against the Washington Mystics on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Angel Reese still hasn\u2019t gotten the best of her WNBA rival, Caitlin Clark, but at least she achieved&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":685376,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[3691,3444,99,434],"class_list":["post-685375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-angel-reese","tag-atlanta-dream","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=685375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/685375\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/685376"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=685375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=685375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=685375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
