Brittney Griner Has Strong Words About Atlanta Dream on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Atlanta Dream are the hottest team in the WNBA right now, having won six straight games and eight of their last 10. They even took down the league-best Minnesota Lynx, as they climbed to the No. 2 seed in the standings.

For four quarters, the Atlanta Dream outmuscled and outworked the Valkyries in what became a 79-63 loss for the expansion team. Golden State dropped to 18-16 with the defeat and had their four-game winning streak snapped.

The Storm beat the Dream 80-78 in front of an "electric" Rogers Arena crowd for the WNBA's first regular-season game outside the United States.

On Friday, Rhyne Howard surpasses Tiffany Hayes to become the all-time leading three point scorer in Dream history.

The arrival of future Hall of Famer Brittney Griner, a two-time scoring champion and Defensive Player of the Year, has undoubtedly infused them with superpowers they had previously lacked. But another factor has been the continued fine play of guard Rhyne Howard.
