The Atlanta Dream mounted a stunning comeback from 15 points down to edge the Dallas Wings 82-81 on Wednesday night in Arlington, Texas.

Allisha Gray led the charge, scoring five of her 25 points in the final seconds to seal the victory.

Atlanta has now won four consecutive games and five of its last six, improving to 17-10 after a five-game losing streak earlier this season.

Gray's Clutch Performance

With 18.7 seconds left and Dallas leading 81-77, Arike Ogunbowale committed a Flagrant Foul 1 on Gray's 3-point attempt.

Gray calmly sank all three free throws, then hit a contested jumper in the lane after the inbounds pass to give Atlanta its first lead of the second half with 15 seconds remaining.

The Wings had a chance to respond, but Awak Kuier missed a corner 3-pointer and Jessica Shepard's putback attempt failed at the buzzer.

Angel Reese recorded her 18th double-double of the season for the Dream, contributing 22 points and 12 rebounds despite the team shooting just 1-of-16 from beyond the arc.

Ogunbowale led Dallas with 24 points, while Azzi Fudd added 20 and Paige Bueckers scored 16. Shepard posted 16 points and 14 rebounds for her league-leading 19th double-double.

The Wings fell to 18-10 with the loss.

Both teams return to action Friday night, with the Dream hosting Seattle and the Wings traveling to face Washington.
