The Atlanta Dream’s Brionna Jones, who is starting her 9th WNBA season, has made just 5 career 3-pointers in games. But today at shootaround, she swished 5 in a row. It’s a part of her game she’s been working on. Dream face Indiana Fever tonight in Indy and Thursday in Atlanta.

Both Kelsey Mitchell and Caitlin Clark credited Atlanta Dream for how well they played but said it's good for Indiana Fever to be able to face Dream again Thursday and work on what went wrong tonight.

Coach Steph White complimented Caitlin Clark's patience even though her 3's didn't fall in win vs. Atlanta Thursday. She said Dream tried to limit Clark to taking tough 2's, but Clark didn't get frustrated and force things. We'll see what New York Liberty do today vs. Indiana Fever.
