COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) \u2014 Jordin Canada made a layup at the buzzer and the Atlanta Dream bounced back after squandering a 22-point lead and losing star Angel Reese due to a knee injury, beating the Chicago Sky 93-91 on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The victory was Atlanta’s seventh straight over Chicago.<\/p>\n
After Allisha Gray hit two free throws with 9.5 seconds left, the Sky took a timeout to advance the ball to the front count. Sydney Taylor took the inbounds pass, worked around a high screen by Kamilla Cardoso and hit a deep, straight-away 3 to make it 91-all four seconds later.<\/p>\n
Canada took a handoff from Brionna Jones on the right wing and darted to the hoop for the go-ahead basket.<\/p>\n
Reese\u2019s knee buckled when she came to a jump stop under the basket early in the fourth quarter and she fell to the ground as she missed the layup. She got up quickly, but went down again after a few seconds. Reese returned to the bench and the Dream ruled her out for the rest of the game.<\/p>\n
Gray led the Dream (16-10) with 29 points, and Canada finished with 10 points, nine assists and three steals. Madina Okot had 14 points and four rebounds in 11 minutes.<\/p>\n
Former Bradley Central standout and four-time WNBA All-Star Rhyne Howard added 11 points, pulled down a half dozen, dished off six assists and blocked three shots for the victors.<\/p>\n
Jones grabbed 10 rebounds to go with six points in 15 minutes off the bench. The four-time All-Star missed the first 24 games while recovering from a knee injury before she played 15 minutes in a 111-92 win at Toronto on Friday.<\/p>\n
Atlanta has won three straight and four of its last five following a five-game skid.<\/p>\n
The Sky (9-17) had their two-game win streak snapped.<\/p>\n
Azura Stevens led Chicago with 20 points and nine rebounds. Taylor scored 18 and Kamilla Cardoso added 15.<\/p>\n
The Sky’s Skylar Diggins (knee) missed her sixth consecutive game.<\/p>\n
Atlanta’s Te-Hina Paopao (leg) missed her second game in a row.<\/p>\n
