2016 WNBA Playoffs: Dream look to handle shorthanded Sky

The Atlanta Dream look to continue their playoff march on Sunday when they travel to Chicago for a winner-take-all matchup against the Sky.

Atlanta advanced to the second-round with a 94-85 win over the Seattle Storm on Wednesday behind 37 points from Angel McCoughtry. The Dream closed the game with a 24-6 run to seal the victory. With Tiffany Hayes sidelined due to a one-game suspension, Bria Holmes stepped up with 21 points in support of McCoughtry. Hayes is expected to be back in Atlanta’s starting lineup on Sunday.

Chicago earned a first-round bye with their fourth place finish in the standings but will face Atlanta without 2015 MVP Elena Delle Donne who had surgery on her thumb last week.
