The Atlanta Dream return to the court Friday night to take on the Indiana Fever in an Eastern Conference matchup. The Dream outlasted the San Antonio Stars 73-63 in overtime to get their 2016 campaign off to a good start. Indiana comes in at 1-1 falling at home to Dallas in the opener but bounced back nicely on Wednesday with a win over the Mercury.
Dream head coach Michael Cooper entered the season with the mantra that his team had to improve defensively to have a chance this season. They succeeded in the opener holding San Antonio to just 35 percent shooting from the field.
