Overview

  • Cecilia Zandalasini scored 18 points and sank an 11-foot jumper with 3.2 seconds left to hand Golden State a 77-75 victory over Atlanta on July 29.
  • Atlanta led by 13 entering the fourth quarter but lost 77-75 despite Jordin Canada’s 21-point, eight-assist effort.
  • Play was briefly halted in the final minute when a spectator tossed a lewd object onto the sideline, prompting on-court security intervention.
  • Two days earlier, the Dream had upset Minnesota 90-86 to snap the Lynx’s 14-0 home record and boost their Eastern Conference positioning.
  • WNBA officials are reviewing the incident and are considering tighter sideline security measures at upcoming games.
