Allisha Gray

Searching for that first victory of a fresh season can be a powerful motivator. After dropping their first contest of the 2023 campaign, Allisha Gray and the Atlanta Dream found themselves down double digits in the early stages of a second against the Minnesota Lynx. The 2017 WNBA Rookie of the Year served as a deciding factor in getting her team back in the fight when she nearly turned the ball over in a one-on-one matchup before regaining control thanks to some persistent focus. Once Gray shook free of her defender, she drained a pull-up jumper from just inside the foul line to pull the Dream within 10 points. Atlanta ultimately completed the rally in large part due to Gray’s 26 points and 10 rebounds in the 83-77 come-from-behind win on May 23, 2023.
