<p>The Atlanta Dream used a strong first-half performance to defeat the Chicago Sky, 82-71. The Dream had outscored the Sky by 17 points at the end of the first half, and looked to have the game all wrapped up. However, the Sky made a third-quarter run to cut into the Dream's lead and make it an eight-point game heading into the final frame. In the fourth quarter, the Dream were able to hold off the Sky to win by 11 points.</p>
<p>The defense played well for the Dream as they held the Sky to only 40 percent shooting from the field and 21 percent from three-point range.</p>
<p>The Dream had four players who scored in double figures, with Sancho Lyttle leading all scorers with 24 points, grabbing seven rebounds and handing out five assists.</p>

<p>The slumping Chicago Sky come to Atlanta on Wednesday night to face off against the Dream.</p>
<p>Atlanta is playing its first home game since June 26, after which it had a road trip and a break for the Olympics.</p>
<p>The Sky have lost 11 of their last 12, having started the season 7-1. Sky star Epiphanny Prince may miss Wednesday's game. Prince recently returned from a foot injury, but she reportedly rolled her ankle on Tuesday night against New York.</p>
<p>Angel McCoughtry, who leads the league in scoring, will hope to carry the Dream to a win, which would bring them back to .500.</p>
<p>Atlanta, at 10-11, currently trails Indiana by 1.5 games for second place in the Eastern Conference. The Dream fell to Indiana on Saturday night, and will look to recover with tougher defense.</p>
<p>Wednesday's game begins at 7 p.m. ET, and can be viewed live and on-demand <a target="_blank" href="https://liveaccess.wnba.com/wnbala/secure/registerform?utm_source=wnba&utm_medium=automated&utm_content=automated&utm_campaign=wnbala">here</a>.</p>
