Jordin Canada hit a last-second layup to give the Atlanta Dream a 93-91 victory over the Chicago Sky. The win marked Atlanta's seventh consecutive triumph against Chicago and came after the Dream overcame a 22-point deficit and lost star player Angel Reese to a knee injury.

The Atlanta Dream secured their seventh straight win against the Chicago Sky, prevailing 93-91 thanks to a dramatic buzzer-beating layup by Jordin Canada. The victory was hard-fought, with Atlanta having to overcome a substantial 22-point deficit throughout the contest.

Adding to the drama, the Dream lost their prominent rookie Angel Reese to a knee injury during the game, a significant setback for the team. Despite the adversity and the Sky's late surge, which saw them tie the game after Allisha Gray hit two crucial free throws with just 9.5 seconds remaining, Atlanta managed to find a way to win.

Chicago called a timeout to advance the ball following Gray's free throws, setting up the final possession. However, it was Canada who ultimately delivered the decisive blow, sinking her shot as time expired to seal the narrow victory for Atlanta.

💬 Fulltime Take

Atlanta's resilience in overcoming a major deficit and a star player's injury to secure a win and extend a dominant streak against an opponent is a testament to their depth and coaching. This win, however, hinges on the severity of Angel Reese's injury; if significant, it could derail their momentum.
