Added to Favorite


AD Durr scored 13 points against her former team, helping the visiting Atlanta Dream to an 86-79 win over the New York Liberty on Tuesday night.

The Dream (3-5) snapped a three-game losing streak. Atlanta had six double-figure scorers, led by Allisha Gray’s 16 points.

Durr, New York’s first-round pick (second overall) in 2019, made 5 of 12 shot attempts on Tuesday.

Atlanta’s Rhyne Howard, the league’s reigning Rookie of the Year, scored 12 points but made just 4 of 11 shot attempts.

The Liberty (6-3) were without star guard Sabrina Ionescu, who has a left hamstring injury.

Marine Johannes, filling in for Ionescu, scored a game-high 18 points, making 4 of 10 3-point attempts. She also had four assists.

New York’s Breanna Stewart, the reigning Eastern Conference Player of the Week after averaging 28.5 points in two games, struggled with her shooting, making just 1 of 14 attempts. Stewart finished with 12 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and four blocks. She had game highs in all of those categories except points.

The Dream used a 7-0 run to end the first quarter on top 24-20. Atlanta shot 60 percent from the floor in the opening period.

New York shot just 42.1 percent in the first quarter, missing its last seven shots. Liberty center Jonquel Jones played just two minutes in the period after picking up a pair of fouls. Prior to that, she was 2-for-3 from the floor.

There were 12 lead changes in the first half, but the Liberty closed the second quarter on a 12-4 run, taking a 46-41 lead into intermission.

Durr led all players with 11 first-half points.

In the third, Atlanta held New York to 14 points. Dream guard Haley Jones hit a 3-pointer at the third-quarter buzzer to tie the score, 60-60.

The Dream then used a 9-0 run in the fourth quarter to take control of the game, and Atlanta held off a late Liberty charge.
