The Atlanta Dream pulled off one of the most electrifying performances of the 2025 WNBA season on Friday, rallying from 17 points down to beat the Seattle Storm 94-87 on the road. It was a statement win—driven by a devastating second-half surge from Rhyne Howard and Allisha Gray, who combined for 61 points.

The league’s official account posted the stat line on X, formerly Twitter.

“Atlanta's dynamic duo combined for 61 PTS in the Dream's comeback win over the Storm

Allisha Gray: 28 PTS (career-high), 4 REB, 3 3PM

Rhyne Howard: 33 PTS, 6 REB, 5 AST, 2 STL, DAGGER

Howard poured in a season-high 33 points along with six rebounds, five assists, and two steals. The former No. 1 overall pick was unstoppable down the stretch, capping her performance with a dagger three-pointer to seal the victory. Gray added a career-best 28 points, knocking down three triples and contributing four rebounds in one of her most complete games of the year.

The Dream looked out of sorts early, trailing by double digits into the third quarter. But a sudden burst flipped the game’s momentum. Gray buried a three to complete an 11-0 run that trimmed Seattle’s lead to two. Moments later, her free throws gave the Dream their first lead since the opening minutes. From there, the duo never looked back.
