The Atlanta Dream have been slowly and steadily climbing up the WNBA standings. They're currently 14-11 and tied with the Dallas Wings for the fourth best record in the league. They are not considered a championship contender, but they have the potential to be a scary team come playoff time. They are led by rising superstar Rhyne Howard who just became the quickest player in franchise history to reach 1,000 career points. They have a solid complimentary star in Allisha Gray who was traded to the Dream from the Wings in the offseason, In Sunday's win against the Washington Mystics, Gray became the first player in team history to have back to back games of at least 20 points and two made three-pointers while shooting at least 60 percent from the field.
