Limited to 13 points in Friday’s win over the Mystics, Howard was more effective as a scorer in Atlanta’s final game of the week. She’s scored at least 20 points in five games this season, and Sunday’s performance was a step in the right direction after Howard endured a three-game slump. In Atlanta’s previous three outings, the 6-foot-2 guard shot a combined 11-of-39 from the field. While Howard came up big in crunch time on Friday, she was more impactful from the start against the Sky, shooting 3-of-5 from the field in the first quarter. Under first-year head coach Karl Smesko, the Dream have been a positive surprise thus far, with the entire rotation playing with offensive freedom.
