The Atlanta Dream took care of business on Monday against the Golden State Valkyries. The Dream had a 90-81 win over the newest WNBA team, thanks to the leadership of All-Star guard Allisha Gray who finished with 24 points, four assists and two steals for Atlanta.

Last week, it was announced that Gray earned her third All-Star selection. This season, the WNBA star is the leading scorer for the Dream, which has resulted in a 12-7 record. In the first 18 games she played this year, the star guard is averaging 19.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists on 41.5% shooting from deep.

Off the bench, forward Naz Hillmon added 16 points. It was her hot shooting performance that helped the Dream perform better than the Valkyries. Hillmon made a career-high four 3-pointers in the win.

The WNBA recognized her accomplishment and mentioned her on X.

"The Atlanta Dream defeat the Golden State Valkyries 90-81 to move to 12-7 on the season 🙌," the league's social media posted. "3x All-Star Allisha Gray led the way with 24 PTS, 4 AST, & 3 PM, while Naz Hillmon added in 16 PTS, 6 REB, & a career-high 4 3PM!"

Hillmon has played 18 games, averaging 6.7 points on 50.6% shooting from the field, 4.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists off the bench. From long range, she isn't the most reliable, making only close to 32% of her attempts. However, it was one of the best nights of her career on Monday.

The next game for the Dream will be on Friday against the Indiana Fever, their final meeting of the year. In the first three games they've played against each other, the Dream have the season advantage with a 2-1 record.
