The Atlanta Dream rally from an 11-point deficit to beat the Washington Mystics 92-77 in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series. The comeback comes as Rhyne Howard and Angel Reese drive the offense and key momentum swings late in the game.
Howard finishes with 26 points and five steals, helping Atlanta turn Washington’s lead into a decisive win. Reese, playing her first career playoff game, contributes 13 points and 12 rebounds, including a double-double that supports Atlanta’s control on both ends. Both outlets describe the same core storyline: an early Washington advantage, Atlanta’s sustained comeback, and a final margin of 92-77 that sets the tone for the series.
