With every flip of the calendar, the Las Vegas Aces remain fully aware of the day-by-day bullseye attached to their backs as the WNBA’s reigning back-to-back champions. And yet, with every contender comes a simple, unsaid message in return: your best shot might be accurate, but it’s unlikely to be as accurate as the one leaving the left hand of No. 22. Predictably at her best during a clash against a prospective Western Conference elite, A’ja Wilson sifts through her options with both a pack of Minnesota Lynx defenders eager to close in and her former podcast partner mirroring her every maneuver. Both unphased and unguardable, the two-time Most Valuable Player pivots into the heart of the paint with vigor before elevating into a smooth, and-one fallaway jumper. Like clockwork, Wilson and the Aces used a fierce fourth-quarter rally to trump Minnesota’s efforts on the way to victory on May 29, 2024. In a season characterized by her ability to exceed arguably the game’s highest bar, Wilson’s greatness, on this night, came in the form of 29 points and 15 rebounds — WNBA history’s first-ever instance of five consecutive 20-point, 10-rebound outings — alongside three assists, two steals, and four rejections.

A'ja Wilson

There aren’t many ways one could go about rewarding a former WNBA Most Valuable Player who already manufactures plays across every area of the New York Liberty’s gray-wooded court. Though, as she paired yet another outstanding two-way showing with a victory, Jonquel Jones wasn’t one to complain about the result to follow: homecourt advantage in the Commissioner’s Cup Championship. Settled into a stretch eerily reminiscent to that of her breathtaking 2021 campaign, the four-time All-Star adds to her wide-ranging defensive highlight reel, flying from one side of the floor to the other to send Jade Melbourne’s layup attempt back to Washington with an emphatic, second-quarter swat. Fused with energy, even during the end of New York’s grueling five-games-in-eight-days stretch, Jones was as pinpoint as one could be, pairing a surgical 29-point presentation (on 11-of-15 shooting) with eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and three 3-pointers. In helping her team survive the Washington Mystics’ grit, Jones —  the player of the game during the 2023 Commissioner’s Cup — provided the Liberty with an opportunity to defend their title by virtue of their victory on June 9, 2024.

With their challenging, opening-season gauntlet finally in the rearview mirror, the Indiana Fever —  living up to their name as one of the WNBA’s hottest teams —  can cite plenty of reasons for their thrilling turnaround. In every sense of the word, there’s one reason that stands front and center: the rediscovered rhythm of Aliyah Boston. Fixated on the goal of continuing one of her season’s most impactful performances, the 2023 No. 1 pick flashes her elite two-way traits, first by patrolling the paint with a perfectly-timed swat on Lindsay Allen’s layup. Feeding off of the energy of Indiana’s fired-up, sellout crowd, Boston doubles down, running the floor before being rewarded with a selfless dish to set up a transition score. In something of a trend throughout their first three meetings with the Chicago Sky, the Fever were forced to sweat out a physical, chippy, back-and-forth affair on the way to their season’s first winning streak. The soon-to-be named Eastern Conference Player of the Week proved up to the task, producing 19 points (on 9-of-13 shooting), 14 rebounds, four assists, five blocks, and a game-high +13 plus-minus on June 16, 2024.

Aliyah Boston

On May 14, 2024, the Connecticut Sun played host to one of WNBA history’s most highly-anticipated showdowns, with eyes of every kind determined to observe the debut of the Indiana Fever’s No. 22. Depending on one’s view, though, they may have had a difficult time seeing the 2024 No. 1 pick with DiJonai Carrington at her back, hounding her every move. Predictably assigned the night-to-night task of shadowing the opposition’s premier perimeter scorer, Carrington raises her focus to the elevated stage, checking Caitlin Clark at midcourt before enveloping her dribble path with a blur-quick pickpocket steal on the way to a fastbreak finish. Carrington’s brilliant defensive play helped jumpstart a 15-point second quarter lead on the way to a season-opening statement win. On Indiana’s shot creators like flies at a picnic, Connecticut forced 25 turnovers, picking up where they left off as 2023’s top-ranked defense. Blending her lockdown defense —  a term her teammates referred to as “seat belt season" —  with standout play on offense, the fourth-year guard was a star on the night, turning in 16 points, five rebounds, two steals, and one 3-pointer.

DiJonai Carrington

In their search to survive one another’s haymakers during a fourth-quarter rollercoaster ride, the Phoenix Mercury and Atlanta Dream couldn’t have helped noticing the quickness with which advantages seemed to disappear. First came Phoenix’s 10-point edge with eight minutes left; then came the Dream’s subsequent, shocking seven-point lead with three minutes remaining. As Atlanta would ultimately discover, though, there was one thing moving even faster than any comeback the night would offer: Kahleah Copper with her mind set on scoring. Positioned to pair her historically-great offensive masterpiece with a victory, the three-time All-Star moves with purpose, speeding through a stack pick-and-roll on her way to the game-clinching layup. Deemed by league-wide GMs as both the WNBA’s second-most athletic player and one of 2024’s most likely breakout candidates, Copper got active in proving both to be true on May 18, 2024. With buckets of every kind, Copper used a 26-point second half to springboard a 38-point eruption —  becoming just WNBA history’s second-ever player with back-to-back 35+ point games just three nights later — alongside six boards, three 3-pointers, and tireless defense against Atlanta’s perimeter talents.

Kahleah Copper

As she reflected on one of her burgeoning career’s most versatile performances, Rhyne Howard may have ultimately fallen shy of her goal of earning a triple-double. Yet, on a night in which her final bucket left the Chicago Sky crowd in a stunned silence, the Atlanta Dream star found that triples of a different kind work equally as well. Calm and controlled, even in the face of both Chicago’s furious late-game rally and a drained shot clock, the two-time All-Star puts forth the best of her fearless offensive repertoire, smoothly maneuvering into a sidestep dagger 3-pointer, holding her form for good measure. Three days removed from being named to the 2024 USA Basketball 3x3 National Team, Howard provided a powerful reminder of why, draining a must-have bucket on the way to propelling Atlanta to victory on June 8, 2024. Even without her signature, standout scoring display, Howard kept the statisticians busy, putting together 10 points, six rebounds, 10 assists, five steals, and a pair of 3-pointers, guiding the Dream to a 5-4 record in the process.

Rhyne Howard

For one quarter, the Connecticut Sun — last season’s No. 1 ranked defense — had succeeded in their plan to steal the thunder associated with Caitlin Clark’s highly-anticipated debut. With the opportunity finally arriving for her to put her competitiveness and creativity on display in rebuttal, the 2024 No. 1 pick responded as only she can: by stealing it right back with style. Shadowing DiJonai Carrington’s cut to the rim to perfection, the Indiana Fever star positions herself perfectly to intercept an errant pass before sprinting out in transition, ready to test Connecticut’s transition defense. Already familiar with Connecticut’s plan of keeping her potentially-revolutionary 3-point abilities contained, Clark gets imaginative, feigning a long-range shot just deceptively enough to pique DeWanna Bonner’s interest. Swift and smooth in her hesitation dribble, Clark uses the momentum to ease into the WNBA history books with a right-handed layup. Even with the Sun’s physical, towering defenders in her airspace throughout the evening, the breathtaking guard still found a way to elevate in the box score, tying for a game-high 20 points, three assists, a pair of steals, and four 3-pointers in the loss on May 14, 2024.

Caitlin Clark

From the sellout crowd eager to experience her WNBA debut to the schemes of the Dallas Wings’ defense, it quickly became clear just how many eyes and how much attention was committed to monitoring Angel Reese’s every move. Responding with a plan of their own, the Chicago Sky knew just what it would take to get her free. Curling from one side of the paint to the other, Reese uses her teammate’s cross screen to catch Dallas’ rim protectors slightly unprepared. Determined in her move to the rim, the No. 7 pick finds an advantageous angle, checking the milestone bucket off of her list with a layup in traffic. With the floodgates officially opened after that first-ever basket, “The Bayou Barbie” rode that confidence to an 11-point second half, finishing the game with 12 points, eight rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 26 productive minutes. Demonstrative in answering the question of how her game would translate at the next level, Reese showcased her potential as a two-way interior presence, keeping the Sky competitive even despite the loss on May 15, 2024.

Angel Reese

Officially in the history books with a WNBA debut that showcased her tantalizing potential and two-way versatility, Cameron Brink made it unquestionably clear, the amount of defensive attention that will be required to contain her. But upon seeing the Atlanta Dream’s discombobulated defense, the paint just a few dribbles away, and a red carpet officially rolled out for her first-ever professional score, the Los Angeles Sparks’ new star certainly wasn’t one to complain about a wide-open shot. Decisive in her move after a pair of Dream defenders collide into one another, the 2024 No. 2 selection makes her move, racing into the lane with a quick gather before laying in a smooth finish just two minutes into her opening game. The skilled rookie, fittingly, kept Atlanta on its toes throughout, fusing catch-and-shoot triples, elusive dribble moves, and sound rim protection into her highlight reel during the loss on May 15, 2024. A star on the night, even with both foul trouble and Atlanta’s group of All-Star bigs threatening to steal her thunder, Brink tallied up 11 points, two rebounds, four assists, two blocks, two 3-pointers, and a +8 plus-minus in 20 minutes.

Cameron Brink

Poised and well-prepared for her moment in the spotlight as the WNBA’s oldest rookie, Julie Vanloo enters her new environment equipped with experience from her decorated overseas journey. Given a chance to make a final-second statement during the third quarter of her debut, the Washington Mystics’ new guard showed that her wisdom isn’t the only thing capable of transcending a few zip codes. Eager to turn a five-point lead into something more commanding, Vanloo brainstorms her plan, working an elusive behind-the-back dribble to shake free of Ivana Dojkic’s tight defense before arching up a 35-foot rainbow, beating the buzzer to draw the awe of her teammates. Known for her flash and innovativeness with the ball in her hands, the Belgium-born floor general made certain to join the highlight reels, even despite a losing effort against the star-studded New York Liberty. One of five players to contribute off the bench, the 31-year-old provided a noticeable two-way impact with three points, four assists, one steal, and one memorable 3-pointer on May 14, 2024.

Julie Vanloo

With a pair of picks inside the top-four of the potentially-generational 2024 WNBA Draft and a roster ready to welcome new contributions, the Los Angeles Sparks are hoping that their talented rookies are ready to for the rigors of the WNBA from Day One. If the first half of her debut was of any indication, Rickea Jackson showed that the deadlines, time constraints, and bright lights associated with the WNBA scene shouldn’t be too much for her athleticism to overcome. Stationed at midcourt with her teammate pressuring Haley Jones on what appeared to be the first half’s final possession, Jackson pounces on her opportunity, cutting off Jones’ dribble with a perfectly-timed steal. In a race against the clock with just four seconds remaining and half of the court to cover, the No. 4 pick beats the buzzer with calmness, hanging a layup gently off of the glass, drawing the crowd’s admiration. Jackson made a habit out of generating end-of-quarter plays during her first-ever game, keeping the Sparks competitive despite the losing effort. Guiding Los Angeles’ second unit, the smooth-scoring forward introduced herself with seven points, three rebounds, and one steal in 18 minutes of action on May 15, 2024.

Rickea Jackson

Already considered the type of player capable of someday guiding the Washington Mystics back to their championship level, Aaliyah Edwards certainly wasn’t one to waste time showcasing the different levels to her own game during her WNBA career’s opening act. Having already welcomed herself to the scoring column with a pair of free throws in the first half, the accomplished first-year forward turns it up a notch, using her teammate’s attention to drift into open space along the perimeter before easing into a wide-open 16-foot bucket. Spurred on by that milestone score, Edwards returned with another just moments later, continually putting the pressure on the New York Liberty and their pair of former Most Valuable Player winners along the frontline. The Mystics’ attempts at earning a win would ultimately fall short, but not without the rookie first putting forth a remarkable performance on May 14, 2024. A formidable force from the midrange-in on both sides of the floor, Edwards turned in six points, a pair of rebounds, and one block in 14 minutes.

Aaliyah Edwards

In the lead-up to a season that will present them with a chance at becoming just WNBA history’s second-ever team to accomplish a three-peat, the Las Vegas Aces have arrived to this season’s table with something that’s sure to concern the rest of their competition: another card to add to their already-unstoppable deck. Sprinting out in transition with a fired-up home crowd ready to erupt during a 9-0 run, Kate Martin makes her arrival into both the scoring column and the Aces’ history books, perfectly positioning herself along the left corner before draining a wide-open 3-point bucket. One of just four second-round picks to earn an Opening Day roster spot, Martin wasn’t wasteful in proving precisely why during the win on May 18, 2024. Mixing timely defense — including one jaw-dropping block despite a seven-inch size disadvantage — with veteran-like poise and IQ, Martin’s box score told the story quite well. Versatile and impactful during her debut, Martin recorded three points, five rebounds, three assists, one block, and one 3-pointer across 26 minutes of play.

Kate Martin

The highly-anticipated debut of Kamilla Cardoso may have come with a brief delay; though, as the box score and highlight reel would ultimately confirm just moments into her debut, the impact would arrive with express shipping. Having already introduced herself to the statsheet with a rebound mere seconds after checking in, the 2024 No. 3 pick locks in on the offensive end, challenging the Indiana Fever’s defense with a pick-and-roll and a perfectly-timed leap to snag a high-point pass in the heart of the paint. Needing a powerful take with both former South Carolina teammate Aliyah Boston and national championship foe Caitlin Clark closely behind, Cardoso elevates forcefully, crossing off her first-ever WNBA score with a familiar, off-the-glass finish. The winning plays that ultimately championed Cardoso at the collegiate stage were on full showcase despite the one-point defeat on June 1, 2024. Blending her consistency, rim protection, and cohesion with her teammates into an ideal mix, Cardoso —  even while admittedly “stressed” beforehand —  announced her emergence in the form of 11 points (on five-of-seven shooting), six rebounds, and a +11 plus-minus in 18 minutes.

Kamilla Cardoso

Appropriately perched atop the WNBA’s offensive rebounding leaderboards in two of the last three years, the Dallas Wings used their 2024 season opener to introduce a player capable of helping them fly high in that statistic once again. Healthy and ready to make an immediate impact in her long-awaited debut, Stephanie Soares positions herself near the rim, joining a crowded fray of both teammates and opponents in the hunt for a loose ball. Blending swift reflexes with a powerful move to match, Soares snags the basketball as soon as it enters her vicinity before barreling into the paint and banking it off the glass through traffic. A heartfelt redemption story given her long road back from injury, the former 2023 No. 4 pick helped the Wings soar their way into 60 points in the paint, en route to an eight-point home victory over the Chicago Sky on May 15, 2024. Playing an important role among the Wings’ second unit, Soares contributed four points, three rebounds, and a perfect two-of-two from the field in eight minutes.

Stephanie Soares

From their well-earned distinction as the WNBA’s No. 1-ranked 3-point shooting team to their ability to run proven, winning lineups far into their bench, the Minnesota Lynx — in more ways than one — have proven to know a thing or two about depth. Setting her focus on making an impact in just her second WNBA game, Alissa Pili exemplifies both, setting her stance in the far-right 3-point corner before catching a cross-court pass on the way to a wide-open spot-up triple and her career’s first-ever professional score. Pili’s milestone triple helped Minnesota carve out a nine-point advantage in the third quarter, a boost they’d use to fuel a second-consecutive victory against the Seattle Storm on May 17, 2024. Fitting right in on a night that saw seven different Lynx players take part in the long-range barrage, the 2024 No. 8 selection made her presence felt, finishing her memorable night with five points, two rebounds, and one 3-pointer in 10 minutes of action.

Alissa Pili

Across every stop of her professional basketball journey — both with the Phoenix Mercury and through the international circuit —  there are two things that have been as sure as the rising sun when it comes to Natasha Mack: stops in abundance on the defensive end, and fittingly, nonstop hustle everywhere else. With the confidence of her coaches signified through a spot in the Mercury’s starting lineup, the 2021 second-rounder zeroes in on the latter, wrestling past Kiah Stokes’ boxout for her third offensive rebound of the first quarter before swinging it back out to her hot-shooting teammate for a 3-pointer. Determined to take full advantage of her return to the WNBA after a three-year overseas venture, Mack wasn’t wasteful with her opportunity, producing six points, seven rebounds, six assists, and a pair of blocks in 22 minutes. Through invaluable contributions both on the box score and off, Mack’s hustle helped Phoenix upstage the elite Las Vegas Aces for an early-season victory on May 21, 2024.

Natasha Mack

Even without getting too far ahead of herself, Jewell Loyd wasn’t oblivious to how impactful a victory over the WNBA’s back-to-back title winners was for the Seattle Storm and their long-term goal of reentering the championship conversation. As for the short term, the conversations and company she’s putting herself alongside haven’t been too shabby, either. Taking in the scene of the Las Vegas Aces’ set defense, the 2023 scoring champion introduces Kate Martin to her veteran savvy, laying the bait with a back-to-basket dribble before turning the corner and powering through contact for an and-one layup over A’ja Wilson’s outstretched arms. A bucket-getter of the highest echelon, Loyd’s fourth-quarter bucket cemented her 5,000th point — just WNBA history’s 25th-ever player to reach that plateau — providing the groundwork for Seattle’s late-game push to victory. No stranger to elite-level outings against the Aces, Loyd ensured that June 7, 2024 was no different, leading the charge with 25 points, nine rebounds, two assists, and two 3-pointers as Seattle moved to 7-3.

Jewell Loyd

Even as their ability to soar alongside the star-studded New York Liberty quickly became a no-brainer, it wouldn’t be long before even the competitive Chicago Sky realized that one vertical leap battle had already been lost. With a fiery competitiveness and the matching athleticism embedded into her DNA, Chennedy Carter made certain that number never became two. Thinking quickly with the Liberty working a pick-and-pop action immediately after winning a jump-ball, Carter charges toward Sabrina Ionescu, as if relishing the high-profile matchup opportunity. Attached tightly enough to Ionescu’s back to be her shadow, Carter times her leap flawlessly, winding up to whack the Liberty star’s layup away, forcing an out-of-bounds for good measure. Motivated to provide their head coach —  a former all-time great Liberty star — with a victory in her homecoming, Chicago routinely used her type of energy and intensity in the big-time road win on May 23, 2024. The WNBA’s No. 1 in points scored off the bench, Carter again provided a spark, requiring just 17 minutes to record a 12-point, six-rebound, four-assist, one-block effort.

Chennedy Carter

With significant draft capital invested into beefing up their frontcourt firepower, the Chicago Sky have left little guesswork regarding the two areas in which they intend to dominate year-after-year: the low-post area and the paint. Having been around the block a few times —  both literally and figuratively — as a two-time All-Star and former All-Defensive Team selection, Brionna Jones used an impressive two-way sequence to show her opponents how it’s done. Powerful and unyielding against Marina Mabrey’s post entry pass attempt, Jones uses her 6-foot-3 frame to overwhelm Elizabeth Williams before inhaling the pass as if she were the intended recipient. Sprinting the length of the floor in hopes of sequencing her steal with a score, Jones reaps the reward for her ambition, using her teammate’s unselfish dime before dropping in a wide-open layup. Through her role in helping the Connecticut Sun dominate the rebounding, second-chance, and paint points battles, Jones’ team remained the WNBA’s only undefeated team. Ever consistent, Jones needed just 23 minutes to pour in an efficient 16-point, six-rebound, two-steal performance on May 25, 2024.

Brionna Jones

For many, when a storm arrives, the wise choice is often to seek shelter. Ask the Minnesota Lynx, though, and they’ll tell you that as long as Alanna Smith is roaming the floor, their foundation — as well as the rim —  is as well-protected as it gets. In need of a defensive statement with a 10-point deficit standing in their way, the skilled forward reminds Ezi Magbegor of where the WNBA’s No. 2-ranked paint defense resides, protecting the rim with umbrella-like coverage on the way to a well-timed rejection. Unfinished, the breakout forward takes off into a sprint to give Minnesota the numbers advantage before powering into a high-arcing banker through traffic. On the backs of brilliant ball movement —  headlined by 25 assists on 27 field goals — timely hustle, and a scorching 3-point display, the Lynx, for the third time this season, proved victorious against the Seattle Storm. With a fingerprint on both shot attempts and the game's box score, Smith supplied the intangibles, putting forth seven points, three rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and two blocks in a versatile outing on June 9, 2024.

Alanna Smith

In chaining together win-after-win during a road-heavy stretch that featured just a single home game over a 17-day span, the Seattle Storm found a way to push through fatigue and provide their arena with a reason to get on their feet. With her trademark craftiness, Skylar Diggins-Smith made sure that process involved making one of the WNBA’s best rim protectors leave her feet, along the way. With her switch flipped into attack mode during a red-hot second quarter showcase, the six-time All-Star hunts down a driving lane in the pick-and-roll before outwitting Cameron Brink with a deceptive shot fake, setting her path for a reverse-pivot fadeaway jumper. A professional in the art of getting to her spots, Diggins-Smith routinely rose to the challenge against the WNBA’s No. 3-ranked shot blocker, working her three-level skillset on the way to 19 points (on 7-of-14), five rebounds, six assists, and one 3-pointer. Slowly returning back to her elite form, Diggins-Smith used an extraordinary fourth quarter to help Seattle pull away from the Los Angeles Sparks for a victory —  their seventh win in eight games —  on June 11, 2024.

Skylar Diggins-Smith

In a fourth quarter characterized by missed shots, unfriendly bounces, and the Los Angeles Sparks’ ferocious last-minute comeback attempt, the Dallas Wings were introduced to the benefits of having a player who specializes in the art of second-chance scoring. With her team’s once-sizeable, double-digit lead cut to just one in the game’s final minute, Maddy Siegrist tilts the game’s scales once more, jousting into the crowded paint before snagging her teammate’s miss and reversing it back in for a clutch, crowd-silencing putback. Not even 24 hours removed from a career-best showing —  headlined by seven offensive rebounds —  the 2023 No. 3 selection turned to her tireless motor in helping the Wings capture a one-point victory. A scouting report nightmare for her ability to find holes and hustle opportunities against any defense, Siegrist added another chapter to her breakout campaign on May 26, 2024. Among the elites on the WNBA’s highest season-to-season increases in scoring average, the skilled forward proved impressive, tallying 15 points, eight rebounds, two steals, and one block.

Maddy Siegrist

For two-and-a-half quarters, the Indiana Fever had survived each of the Las Vegas Aces’ inevitable runs, largely through teamwork, resiliency, and being at the right place at the right time. Undeterred, even with every white jersey determined to prevent her from delivering that game-deciding run, Jackie Young drove baseline with a simple message included: even the court’s “sixth defender” wouldn’t be enough for her sixth sense. Officially on Indiana’s radar following a 17-point opening half, Young opts for a screen, setting her path for a right-sided drive. Challenged by a triple whammy of Lexie Hull’s on-ball defense, Kelsey Mitchell’s help rotation, and the closely-approaching out-of-bounds line, Young shows champion-like calmness, taking flight before hitting a cutting teammate to set up a crowd-igniting score. The play encapsulated Young’s night as she kept Las Vegas’ offense on schedule, even without one of her fellow All-Star backcourt mates. History wasn’t far behind as Young recorded her fourth-straight game eclipsing the 20-point, six-assist plateau —  the second player in WNBA history to reach that many games —  ultimately recording 22 points, six assists, two steals, and three triples in the runaway win on May 25, 2024.

Jackie Young

Ask Kayla McBride to explain why season No. 11 in the WNBA has featured both career-highs in efficiency and a spot atop the league’s 3-point leaderboard, and she’ll point to the countless repetitions that she’s put in during overseas play. With her deadeye focused on helping the Minnesota Lynx conquer Commissioner’s Cup play, the three-time All-Star selected quite the location for one of her most memorable world tours: all around the 3-point arc of the Phoenix Mercury’s arena. Already settled into one of league history’s most remarkable shooting displays, McBride adds to her brilliance, locating wide-open space along the left slot before draining her eighth triple of the night. A nightmare for the Mercury from the moment the ball swung her way, McBride turned in a performance that left her with the WNBA’s third most 3-pointers in single-game history. A late-game charge by Phoenix would ultimately lead to Minnesota’s one-point loss on June 7, 2024. Yet even so, the celebrated sniper was nothing short of virtuosic, recording 25 points, five rebounds, three assists, two steals, and eight 3-pointers.

Kayla McBride

For the Washington Mystics —  the WNBA’s leader in games within five points in the final five minutes —  the crunch-time pressures separating them from their season’s first win couldn’t have been more familiar. In pushing to the finish line by reminding herself that there was no such thing as being “tired,” Ariel Atkins ensured that the Mystics’ buckets were of the familiar type, as well. Burdened with providing Washington’s uncertain offense with a sense of order, Atkins slides atop the 3-point arc, in need of a move to break free of Allisha Gray. Also mindful of Cheyenne Parker-Tyus’ goal of helping, Atkins trusts her craftiness, powerfully gathering through the tight gap for a difficult, one-legged in-traffic score. The Atlanta Dream’s late, 14-4 run ultimately dealt Washington a loss on May 29, 2024. Though, the two-time All-Star again found success against the team she first broke out against back in Year One. Ever dependable on both ends, Atkins concluded with 21 points, eight rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block, and two 3-pointers.
