Atlanta Dream 2018 season: 23–11, scoring 81.8 points per game and allowing 79.5 (+2.3 average margin) across 34 games. Updated August 16, 2026.
Scouting report
The Dream finished 23–11, 2nd in the league standings, with a +2.9 net rating that ranked 5th of 12. Defense was the identity — 1st in defensive rating (97.5 per 100) against a 10th-ranked offense (100.4). They played fast, too — 2nd in pace. Nothing jumped off the page as a strength, and the weak spot was shooting efficiency (46.8% eFG, 11th). Scoring was spread around — Tiffany Hayes led at 17.2 a game, but no one accounted for more than 19% of the points, and she was also the one they can least afford to lose: +16.3 per 100 possessions better with her on the floor. The high points: an 8-game winning streak (Jul 8–Jul 24) and a 24-point rout of the Fever on Jul 13. The lows: a 32-point loss at the Fever on Jun 16. They went 12–6 against teams at .500 or better and 9–0 in games decided by five or fewer. Bottom line: a solid playoff-caliber team whose ceiling depended on addressing its shot quality.
