Atlanta Dream vs Washington Mystics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jul 2, 2026

Rhyne Howard's 24 points led Atlanta in a low-scoring affair that fell short of pregame expectations, as Washington's defense clamped down in the second and fourth quarters to secure an 81–76 victory. The combined 157 points landed well under the 167.5 market total, a 10.5-point miss that surprised given the Dream's recent scoring prowess—Atlanta had averaged 92.9 points per game over its last ten contests. The total had drifted slightly downward to 166.5 at the close, but the game's actual trajectory told the story of offensive stagnation: a hot-shooting opening quarter combining for 45 points gave way to a sluggish 28-point second quarter, setting the tone for a slugfest neither team could ignite.

Washington's Shakira Austin (21 pts, 9 reb, 3 ast) anchored the Mystics' grind-it-out approach, while Allisha Gray (17 pts, 4 reb, 3 ast) and Angel Reese (13 pts, 13 reb, 3 ast) provided complementary scoring and rebounding for the Dream. The second half swung between the teams—Washington outscored Atlanta 49–35 after halftime—but neither side broke through with the pace that had defined their head-to-head history this season, which ranged from a 186-point shootout (June 6) to a 155-point defensive struggle (May 3). DAGGER's pregame lean to the over missed, though a live adjustment proved prescient as the scoreline tightened.
