Seattle Storm vs Atlanta Dream Final Score & Over/Under Result — Jul 9, 2026

The market total of 169.5 looked vulnerable from the opening tip. Atlanta and Seattle combined for 48 points in the first quarter—a brisk start that suggested the game might clear the number, but the pace cooled considerably over the next three quarters. The second half proved decisive: after a 93-point first half, the teams managed just 74 combined points in the final 24 minutes, with the fourth quarter yielding only 34 combined points. That late-game deceleration sent the combined total to 167, falling short of the pregame number by 2.5 points. DAGGER's pregame lean to the under cashed, though a live call during the game did not.

Atlanta's balanced scoring attack led the way. Allisha Gray paced the Dream with 22 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Rhyne Howard added 19 points and Angel Reese pulled down 11 rebounds alongside 18 points. Seattle countered with Natisha Hiedeman's team-high 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists, and Dominique Malonga's 15 points and 9 rebounds. Flau'jae Johnson chipped in 14 points and 5 assists for the Storm.

The Dream closed out 89–78, improving on their recent form average of 89.7 points per game. For Seattle, the loss came despite Hiedeman's efficient scoring; the Storm have averaged 85.2 points over their last 10 contests and allowed 87.2 per game, a defensive profile that didn't hold up here. Atlanta's 89-105 road loss to Seattle on June 27 set a different tone—that matchup totaled 195—but this rematch proved far more sluggish.
